Venous Scintigraphy

Venous scintigraphy is a medical imaging test that evaluates blood flow in the veins, typically in the legs. The procedure involves injecting a small amount of a safe radioactive substance into a vein, which travels through the bloodstream. Special cameras then track this radioactive material to visualize blood flow, identify blood clots (deep vein thrombosis), or assess how well veins are functioning. It is a non-invasive, sensitive method that provides detailed images of venous circulation, helping doctors diagnose conditions related to abnormal blood flow or clot formation efficiently and accurately.
