About Both Limbs Venography
These are both advanced Contrast-Enhanced CT Venography (CTV) examinations, looking at the venous system of both the upper and the lower limbs. After a contrast dye is injected into a vein, the scan obtains detailed pictures of the deep and superficial veins and helps the doctor determine blood flow in the veins and to identify abnormal blood flow or blockage in the veins. Examinations can be carried out on both upper and lower limbs (shoulders to hands and hips to feet in this instance) or both lower limbs (hips to feet) or both upper limbs (shoulders to hands), as per the clinical indication.
Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy uses state-of-the-art CT venography to deliver full visualization of the venous system, which helps improve diagnostic and management outcomes for patients with venous disorders.
What is Both Limbs Venography?
Both Limbs Venography is an imaging exam delivered intravenously and is performed without the use of force. Using CT technology, it forms images that are very detailed images of the veins on both limbs, allowing doctors to assess the blood flow, check for any evidence of blood clots, determine any evidence of narrowing or blocking of the veins, and determine any abnormalities that might be affecting the veins and blood flow.
This scan is frequently ordered for patients who have ongoing swelling and pain, for patients with a suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT), chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), venous malformations, or before a vascular procedure.
Common Reasons for Both Limbs Venography
Suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Persistent swelling of both arms or both legs
Limb pain associated with venous disease
Evaluation of venous obstruction
Assessment of varicose veins
Suspected venous insufficiency
Evaluation of venous malformations
Pre-operative venous mapping
Follow-up after venous surgery or intervention
Conditions Evaluated
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Detects blood clots within the deep veins of both upper and lower limbs.
Venous Obstruction
Evaluates narrowing or blockage affecting normal venous blood flow.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Assesses impaired venous circulation and valve dysfunction contributing to chronic venous disease.
Varicose Veins
Evaluates enlarged and abnormal superficial veins and identifies their underlying causes.
Venous Malformations
Helps identify congenital abnormalities affecting the venous system.
Post-Surgical and Post-Interventional Changes
Monitors venous bypass procedures, venous stents, thrombectomy, and other vascular treatments.
Who Should Consider This Scan?
Your doctor may recommend this examination if you:
Have persistent swelling of both arms or both legs
Have suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

Test information: Fasting : 04 hours
Reporting: Within 24 hours*
Fasting may be required before a Both Limbs Venography (CT Venography) scan, as intravenous contrast is administered. Follow the preparation instructions provided by your doctor or diagnostic centre.
Drink adequate water before and after the examination, unless your doctor has advised fluid restriction, to help eliminate the contrast material from your body.
Inform your doctor and radiology team about any history of contrast allergy, kidney disease, diabetes (especially if taking metformin), asthma, heart disease, thyroid disorders, blood clotting disorders, previous deep vein thrombosis (DVT), chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), or previous reactions to contrast media.
Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant before undergoing the scan.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and remove watches, bracelets, rings, anklets, compression garments, or any metallic objects from both limbs being examined before the scan.
Inform your doctor about any history of varicose veins, venous insufficiency, venous malformations, venous stenting, thrombectomy, bypass surgery, vascular surgery, or previous injuries involving either limb.
Carry previous CT Venography reports, Venous Doppler Ultrasound studies, MRI/MRV reports, conventional venography reports, vascular surgery records, or other relevant medical records, if available, for comparison and accurate evaluation.
Inform the radiology team if you have difficulty lying flat or remaining still during the examination.
Follow the CT technician's instructions carefully. You may be asked to hold your breath briefly during image acquisition to improve image quality.
Arrive 15–20 minutes before your scheduled appointment for registration, preparation, IV cannulation, and contrast-related assessment.
Both Limbs Venography (CT Venography) जांच में कंट्रास्ट इंजेक्शन दिया जाता है, इसलिए डॉक्टर या डायग्नोस्टिक सेंटर द्वारा दिए गए निर्देशों के अनुसार जांच से पहले उपवास (Fasting) की आवश्यकता हो सकती है।
यदि डॉक्टर ने मना न किया हो, तो जांच से पहले और बाद में पर्याप्त मात्रा में पानी पिएं, जिससे कंट्रास्ट दवा शरीर से आसानी से बाहर निकल सके।
यदि आपको कंट्रास्ट एलर्जी, किडनी की बीमारी, डायबिटीज (विशेषकर Metformin का सेवन), अस्थमा, हृदय रोग, थायरॉइड की बीमारी, रक्त के थक्के बनने की समस्या, Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) या पहले कभी कंट्रास्ट इंजेक्शन से एलर्जी हुई हो, तो डॉक्टर और रेडियोलॉजी टीम को अवश्य बताएं।
यदि आप गर्भवती हैं या गर्भावस्था की संभावना है, तो जांच से पहले डॉक्टर को अवश्य सूचित करें।
जांच के लिए आरामदायक कपड़े पहनें तथा घड़ी, कंगन, अंगूठी, पायल, कम्प्रेशन गारमेंट या दोनों हाथों/पैरों के आसपास की सभी धातु की वस्तुएं हटा दें।
यदि आपको वैरिकोज वेन्स, वेनस इनसफिशिएंसी, वेनस मालफॉर्मेशन, वेनस स्टेंट, थ्रॉम्बेक्टॉमी, बायपास सर्जरी, रक्त वाहिकाओं की सर्जरी या पहले किसी प्रकार की चोट का इतिहास है, तो इसकी जानकारी डॉक्टर और रेडियोलॉजी टीम को दें।
यदि उपलब्ध हों, तो पिछली CT Venography रिपोर्ट, Venous Doppler Ultrasound, MRI/MRV रिपोर्ट, Conventional Venography रिपोर्ट, Vascular Surgery रिकॉर्ड या अन्य संबंधित मेडिकल रिकॉर्ड साथ लेकर आएं।
यदि आपको सीधे लेटने या कुछ समय तक स्थिर रहने में कठिनाई होती है, तो इसकी जानकारी रेडियोलॉजी टीम को दें।
जांच के दौरान CT तकनीशियन के निर्देशों का पालन करें। बेहतर इमेज गुणवत्ता के लिए आपको कुछ सेकंड के लिए सांस रोकने के लिए कहा जा सकता है।
पंजीकरण, IV कैनुला लगाने तथा कंट्रास्ट प्रक्रिया की तैयारी के लिए निर्धारित समय से 15–20 मिनट पहले पहुंचें।
The patient is positioned comfortably on the CT scanner table with both upper limbs or both lower limbs properly aligned, depending on the clinical indication.
An intravenous (IV) contrast injection is administered to enhance visualization of the deep and superficial venous systems of both limbs.
The CT scanner acquires high-resolution venographic images from the shoulders to the hands or from the hips to the feet, providing detailed assessment of the veins in both limbs.
During the scan, the patient is instructed to remain completely still and may be asked to hold their breath briefly during image acquisition to minimize motion artefacts and ensure optimal image quality.
The examination helps evaluate deep vein thrombosis (DVT), chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), venous obstruction, varicose veins, venous malformations, traumatic venous injuries, venous stents, thrombectomy outcomes, bypass grafts, and post-surgical or post-interventional changes.
The procedure is safe, minimally invasive, and generally completed within 20–30 minutes, including intravenous contrast administration.
The radiologist carefully reviews the images to assess the venous anatomy, blood flow, venous abnormalities, and any pathological findings, helping guide accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
After detailed evaluation, the final report is generally available within 04 hours.
