Venous thrombosis in the neck. The role of real time ultrasound.
Real time ultrasound is being increasingly used in the diagnosis of venous thrombosis. We have studied its role in six patients with jugular and/or subclavian vein thrombosis and conclude that ultrasound is a useful, non-invasive first line imaging technique and may negate the need for venography in this small but important group of patients.
