Will a leg venous doppler spot blood clots? I take birth control pills and I started feeling pain in my leg. Will this doppler tell me if I have any blood clots? While no test is 100% accurate, an ultrasound with Doppler imaging of your leg vessels will likely show whether or not you have a blood clot. While feeling a pain in your leg can be caused by many different problems, since you are on birth control, ruling out a blood clot is never a bad idea. The ultrasound with Doppler on your legs is a non-invasive test that uses no radiation. A blood clot in your leg can be dangerous if it decides to dislodge and go to your lungs. When this happens, we call it a pulmonary embolism which can be quite dangerous or even deadly. If no clot is found, but your doctor is still concerned about a clot, you can get a blood test for the d-dimer.
