Abstract:
This article outlines the application of continuous-wave Doppler, plethysmographic techniques, and B-mode ultrasonography to the diagnosis of suspected deep venous thrombosis in ambulatory patients. Methodology is evaluated, and the diagnostic accuracy and application of these studies are reviewed. The authors' current algorithm for the application of these noninvasive studies also is presented.
