Great tip. I am interested in viewing the Soleal vein can you upload a video discussing how to get a good view of the Soleal vein

Please do give tips for visualizing the peroneal artery, which is very difficult, whatever approach one uses !

[@gulfcoastultrasound]

The easiest way to visualize the peroneal artery is to locate the paired peroneal veins. The peroneal artery is only a few mm in size so use color flow to help you locate this vessel which typically runs between the veins. Start with a medial approach (like a DVT study) and if the leg is too large try a lateral approach. Color and or power Doppler will help.

Thank you for that very usfeul tip! Will it be in that location where to expect a thrombosis as a result of a 'tennisleg'?

[@goodgod8533]

How do you scan the veins of the foot in a patient with persistent bilateral swollen feet which did not extend beyond the ankle. She's 18yrs, not diabetic, not hypertensive, not painful, no colouration of the feet/leg but oedematous?
