When is it unnecessary? I already know I have varicose veins, so what are the benefits of having a venous relfux exam?

If you have varicose veins which bulge, or other symptoms of venous insufficiency such as achy legs, swelling in the legs, or skin discoloration or ulceration then you should have a venous insufficiency ultrasound evaluation. A venous reflux exam also evaluates the deep venous system making sure it is working properly and without insufficiency or thrombus (DVT). Venous reflux exams are necessary for all patients with suspected venous insufficiency and especially those that are being considered for vein procedures.

    I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
