title: Ultrasound and clinical diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis of the leg.
abstract: The diagnostic precision of clinical evaluation and of ultrasound examination in the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis was obtained by ascending phlebography. The diagnostic specificity and diagnostic sensitivity of clinical examination was 0.72 and 0.78 and with ultrasound 0.73 and 0.70. With no other examination than phlebography is it possible to demonstrate major central thrombosis in the leg with certainty.
