Venography

What is a venogram?

A venogram is a test that lets your healthcare provider see the veins in your body, especially in your legs. A special dye is injected that can be seen on an special X-ray in cath-lab . The dye lets your healthcare provider see your veins and how healthy they are.

A venogram is used to diagnose deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or other abnormalities of your veins. This test can also help your healthcare provider diagnose other health problems.

A venogram can be done in several ways:

  • Ascending venography: This looks for a DVT and finds out where it is in your vein.
  • Descending venography: This looks at how well your deep vein valves are working.
  • Descending venography: This looks at how well your deep vein valves are working.
  • Venacavography: This looks at your inferior or superior vena cava. The vena cava is the vein that brings blood to your heart. The healthcare provider looks for blockages or other problems.
