Imaging diagnostics

Introduction

Contemporary venous vascular imaging forms a key part in the qualification for treatment of a patient suffering from venous disease. Historically, many treatments and therapy ideas were done by feel. Knowledge of vein anatomy, their anomalies, variability, haemodynamics and how they interacted with each other was at a lower level due to technological limitations. Today, the primary and most commonly used diagnostic method (separated from classical radiological imaging) is Doppler ultrasonography (Doppler ultrasound).

In cases requiring a more detailed diagnosis (so-called dilated diagnosis of the venous system), advanced imaging techniques are used, such as: magnetic resonance venography (abbreviated MRV) or computed tomography venography (abbreviation CTV). Intravascular ultrasonography (abbreviation IVUS) and digital phlebography Rather, they are methods that we are already reaching for when performing repair procedures on the venous system.

What sets us apart?

The Phlebology Clinic has a unique team of specialists that combines the expertise of different fields of vascular medicine.

In one place they work together:

  • radiologists and diagnosticians;
  • Phlebologists specialising in diagnostic Doppler ultrasound of veins;
  • interventional radiologists
  • proctologists
  • general surgeons, oncologic surgeons and vascular surgeons.

This interdisciplinary collaboration provides a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the venous system. The Phlebology Clinic offers a full range of diagnostic imaging using a proprietary strategy for comprehensive imaging of the venous system with a focus on:

  • comprehensive diagnosis of venous insufficiency, including pelvic venous insufficiency (we have the most experience in this area in Poland);
  • diagnosis of venous thrombosis, including systemic and portal vessel thrombosis;
  • evaluation of varicose veins of the retroperitoneal space, pelvic varicose veins, varicose veins of the pelvic floor and intimate area and varicose veins of the lower limbs;
  • screening and control of the venous system, particularly in young adults and pregnant women.
