Abstract :

 The purpose of this study is to discuss the utility of venous Doppler ultrasonography as the foundation for diagnosis of lower extremity pathologies like varicosities anddeep vein thrombosis. The effectiveness and practicality of venous ultrasonography as a stand–alone examination in the diagnosis of acute deep vein thrombosis and varicose veins is addressed. Venous ultrasonography has become the most widely used diagnostic modality, invasive or noninvasive, for the diagnosis and exclusion of acute deep vein thrombosis or varicose veins. Duplex ultrasound is considered to be the primary noninvasive diagnostic method for deep vein thrombosis. (We conducted a retrospective studyon 100 patients having prior history oflower limb pain, claudication, edema and varicosities.
