Abstract
A variety of non-invasive diagnostic procedures for assessing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) have appeared over the last 10 years. One is conventional ultrasound imaging, called B-mode at first and now called the Doppler-duplex mode. Several authors speak of the high level of reliability of this method for diagnosing DVT in the iliofemoral and popliteal regions. We found an initial sensitivity of 84% in a total of 162 ultrasound studies of lower extremities. Specificity was 100% in the 41 cases in which phlebograms were also used.
