title: [Duplex ultrasound of deep vein thrombosis of the leg].
abstract: Colour coded Duplex ultrasound is the diagnostic tool of choice in case of suspicion of a deep vein thrombosis of the leg. In the hand of an experienced examiner a thrombosis can be confirmed or excluded, but also differential diagnoses can be detected. In this article we show you how to perform a systematic ultrasound examination of the leg veins.
