About This Test
Venography (Scan Charges Only) is a specialized CT imaging study used to evaluate the venous system and assess blood flow within the veins. It is commonly performed to detect deep vein thrombosis (DVT), venous obstruction, varicose veins, congenital venous anomalies, or post-surgical complications. Using contrast-enhanced CT technology, the scan provides detailed images of both superficial and deep veins, helping identify clots, narrowing, blockages, or structural abnormalities. The term “Scan Charges Only” means that the cost includes only the scanning procedure and excludes contrast material or additional consumables. Venography is often recommended when patients present with symptoms such as leg swelling, pain, discoloration, or suspected venous insufficiency. Its high accuracy and rapid imaging make it a valuable tool in emergency and routine clinical settings. The scan helps clinicians determine the severity of venous disease and plan appropriate treatment, such as anticoagulation therapy, catheter-based intervention, or surgical management.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ans-CT scan uses X rays to create detailed images of the inside of the body.

Some scans need contrast dye for clearer images. Your doctor will advise based on your
condition.
condition.
Ans- Most scans take 5–10 minutes.
Ans-Yes. CT scan is a safe imaging test. However, it exposes you to a small dose of radiation. For most people, such a small potential risk far outweighs the benefits, in terms of saving your life. The radiation dose is controlled and kept within safe limits.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
