I’ve heard there are different types of venous reflux exams. What are they?

Duplex venous ultrasound is the current reflux exam of choice. While there are a variety of other reflux exams, they are either of historical interest or for research purposes but do not add anything clinically.
Of note, a reflux study must be performed while standing. Some offices charge an extra fee for a “vein mapping” however that can usually be done during the initial duplex venous exam.
