Duplex ultrasound imaging has emerged as the best way to locate the hidden diseased veins that cause the more obvious varicose veins on the skin surface. It also provides guidance for the precise injection of these abnormal veins, which otherwise would have to be surgically removed (Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy). The Leg Vein Clinic, Gold Coast, (LVC) is the first dedicated vein treatment centre in South East Queensland to offer its own duplex ultrasound system equipped with “colour-flow” technology for improved accuracy.
