About This Test
This scan evaluates veins of the upper limbs and thoracic region under scan-only billing. It provides high-resolution images of subclavian, brachial, axillary, and thoracic veins, helping detect thrombosis, stenosis, or venous malformations. It is particularly useful for patients with swelling, unexplained pain, or suspected venous disorders. The scan aids pre-surgical planning, catheter placement, or interventional procedures. Although contrast is not included, it provides sufficient anatomical detail to assess vascular patency and structure. Non-invasive and fast, it supports early diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up monitoring, providing clinicians with essential information to manage upper limb and thoracic venous conditions effectively
