[Ultrasonic scanning, is it an alternative to phlebography in deep thrombophlebitis of the leg?].
A material of 27 patients with clinically suspected deep thrombophlebitis in the lower limbs were examined both by ultrasonic scanning and by phlebography. We found a true negative diagnostic frequency of 100% and true positive diagnostic frequency of 85% by ultrasonic scanning. On the basis of this finding, ultrasonic scanning is proposed as the primary investigation in cases of suspected deep thrombophlebitis in the lower limbs.
