What reflux mapping looks for
Venous reflux mapping checks whether vein valves are leaking, where reflux starts, which veins are involved, and whether there is any clot history that changes treatment planning.
Why standing position can matter
Reflux is often assessed with the leg dependent or standing when appropriate, because vein valve leakage can be more visible when gravity stresses the veins.
