Explanation

A venogram is a type of medical test that doctors use to see how well the veins in your body are working. It involves injecting a special dye into the veins, which then shows up on an X-ray. This allows doctors to see any blockages or abnormalities in the veins. It's often used to check for blood clots, varicose veins, or other vein conditions.
