title: The detection & management of deep venous thrombosis.
abstract: DVT is a serious health hazard that requires early detection and careful management. Noninvasive diagnostic testing provides an accurate method of diagnosis, which is especially useful in patients with easily identifiable risk factors. Noninvasive venous diagnostic testing used in an office practice is a safe and accurate method to determine the extent of venous disease. The tests should be done when significant risk factors, especially if multiple in number, for DVT are present.
