Core Tip	Venous congestion is a dynamic and underrecognized potential contributor to organ dysfunction across cardiovascular and critical care settings. The venous excess ultrasound framework integrates abdominal venous Doppler findings to provide a structured, noninvasive assessment of venous hypertension. Radiologists can play an important role by recognizing signs of congestion on routine imaging, helping educate physicians who are learning point-of-care ultrasound on optimal Doppler acquisition, and incorporating venous excess ultrasound principles into their interpretive reporting.
