Abstract
Compression ultrasonography supplemented by pulsed and color Doppler imaging is the diagnostic modality of choice for evaluating lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in symptomatic and asymptomatic high-risk patients. Furthermore, this technique frequently can characterize the clot as occlusive or nonocclusive or acute or chronic and can define the extent of disease. In patients without thrombosis, this modality can suggest an alternative diagnosis in 12% of patients.
