Deep Vein Thrombosis [DVT] Scan

Provided by ‘FRZ Sono-Tech Ltd.’

Personalised service by a NHS Senior Clinical Ultrasonographer Scanning Privately on Sundays/ Evenings!

A full Consultation with your Ultrasonographer is included in the below price.

We will give you a report of your findings, but the images will only be sent to your NHS GP or Medical Clinic (with your consent).

This is done if you suspect a blood clot in your leg veins. It can detect the presence of both recent and old thrombi. It checks for the deep veins of your femoral, popliteal and origins of the calf veins and patency of your vessels.

A DVT is a life threatening event and if you have a high clinical suspicion that you have a current DVT (that is, red swollen hot calf with pain +/- chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing up blood or palpitations [especially if you have just been on a long distance flight/ journey or are post Surgery]) – PLEASE do not wait for a scan with us. Go straight to your local A&E department for a D-Dimer blood test and heparin injections.

As we cannot guarantee a scan will be done as an emergency on the same day, please only book with us if you are unsure as to whether you may have a DVT and you would like reassurance with a scan to exclude this.

Your Senior Ultrasonographer – Ms Fatin Mohsin

Having graduated in 1998 from Damascus university, I earned a degree in medical sciences. I subsequently pursed my career in the United Kingdom and in 2004 was awarded my MSc. in Medical Ultrasound and the Diploma of Medical Ultrasound from Imperial College University London.

In 2008, when I was pregnant with my younger son, I decided to expand my knowledge in medical ultrasound by enrolling in a PgC course and obtained my qualification with a merit from King’s College, London.

I am a member of the British Medical Ultrasound Society, hold a basic accreditation from the Society of Vascular Technology of Great Britain and Ireland and NT accreditation from the Fetal Medicine Foundation.

I have over 11 years experience in both NHS and private hospitals and have been appointed as a Senior clinical ultrasound specialist at Kingston hospital NHS Trust in 2012 (Band 8 Sonographer).

As well as enjoying every aspect of my professional life, I also enjoy my volunteer work for a charity that supports orphans in my home country of Iraq.
