Obligatory medical device diagnostics.
- Doppler sonography (ultrasound examination that can dynamically visualize fluid flows (especially blood flow)).
Optional medical device diagnostics – depending on the results of the history, physical examination, laboratory diagnostics and obligatory medical device diagnostics – for differential diagnostic clarification.
- Light reflection rheography (method for estimating vascular patency) – for suspected chronic venous insufficiency.
- Plethysmography (visualization of blood flow in an extremity by cuff compression) – if chronic venous insufficiency is suspected
- Phlebography (imaging of veins by contrast medium in an X-ray examination) – to rule out thrombosis (refers to the complete or partial occlusion of a vessel or cardiac cavity by a thrombus (blood clot))
