Why swelling needs a pathway
Swelling can come from veins, lymphatics, medication, heart or kidney disease, injury, inflammation, or prolonged standing. Vascular ultrasound answers the vascular part of the question.
How the visit is framed
The team looks at side, duration, triggers, skin changes, vein history, DVT risk, and referral question to choose venous, arterial, or combined assessment.
New sudden swelling in one leg is not the same as chronic swelling and may need prompt DVT assessment.
Booking Path
From question to report
Send swelling duration, side, pain, and photos if appropriate.
Mention travel, surgery, pregnancy, previous DVT, or varicose veins.
The scan pathway is matched to the likely vascular question.
