Background Ultrasound (US) has largely replaced contrast venography as the definitive
diagnostic test for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). We aimed to derive a definitive estimate of …

Evaluation of the accuracy of ultrasound has yielded heterogeneous results. Our objective
was to summarize the evidence on the accuracy of ultrasound compared to venography in …

AIM: To estimate the sensitivity and specificity of computed tomography (CT) for the
diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with suspected DVT and pulmonary …

Duplex ultrasound is the first-line diagnostic test for detecting lower limb deep-vein
thrombosis (DVT) but it is time consuming, requires patient transport, and cannot be …

Background: To assess whether the ultrasound (US) is a reliable approach in detecting
lower-limb deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients without symptoms of DVT. Methods: The …

Objectives: The authors performed a systematic review to evaluate published literature on
diagnostic performance of emergency physician–performed ultrasonography (EPPU) for the …

Background: It remains unclear whether a single complete ultrasound examination, which
detects calf vein thrombosis, is as safe as a baseline rapid ultrasound examination, repeated …

Venous ultrasound is the standard imaging test for patients suspected of having acute deep
venous thrombosis (DVT). There is variability and disagreement among authoritative groups …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be used to diagnose deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in
patients for whom ultrasound examination is inappropriate or unfeasible. We undertook a …

Duplex and color Doppler sonography (DUS) is currently the technique of choice for the
diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in symptomatic patients, because it has proven …
