So, you initially have a venous ultrasound scan to diagnose the superficial vein thrombus. And then, after having a period of treatment, you'll have another venous ultrasound scan or venous two-bit scan, and that serves two main purposes. First to check that the blood clot's been treated and it hasn't spread or extended. And secondly, to visualise the underlying varicose vein that requires treatment. So that also allows us to then plan the varicose vein treatment going forward.
