Diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis using real-time B-mode ultrasound imaging.
The authors discuss real-time B-mode imaging in reference to the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis. This technique is noninvasive, reproducible, painless, and accurate in diagnosing deep vein thrombosis. A case report demonstrating the effectiveness of this modality is presented. The authors believe this diagnostic tool will soon become the procedure of choice in the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis.
