Tips
When referring to the venous system, the term central means closer to the heart
(proximal on the leg), and the term peripheral means farther from the heart (more
distal on the leg)
Deep veins always accompany an artery
You should scan the entire leg from groin to ankle in transverse with compression
before storing images.
Only compress veins in the transverse view
Augmentation should not be performed distal to a thrombus/ noncompressible vein
Always scan the symptomatic area (area of pain or palpable mass) in addition to
LEV protocol
Color and Spectral Doppler
Veins should fill completely with color - angle or square box, or use power Doppler if
needed
No angle correct is needed
Gate should be placed in center of vessel
Spectral waveforms should be phasic and augment with distal compression
If proximal (more central) obstruction is suspected, evaluate the contralateral EIV or
CFV for symmetry of spectral waveforms
Thrombus Present
Do not augment peripheral to the location of the thrombus
Document thrombus with color & spectral Doppler
Document exact location of thrombus
Determine if thrombus is occlusive or non-occlusive
Other Pathology Present
Enlarged lymph nodes, fluid collections, or any other masses should be documented
and measured in sagittal and transverse planes, and with color Doppler (spectral if
indicated)
Edema should be documented in gray scale
Incidental finding of significant arterial disease should be documented with gray
scale, color, and spectral Doppler
