In no case was it necessary to operate to achieve healing between the time of presentation and the scan. Duplex scanning A gray-scale Diasonics DRF 400 scanner (Diasonics, Milpitas, Calif.) was used for the first 113 studies, and ATL Ultramark 9 color-Doppler duplex scanners (Advanced ...
Objectives: To clarify reflux patterns in the sapheno-femoral junction in legs with varicose veins that display incompetence in the proximal long saphenous vein on duplex scan examination. Patients and method: One hund...
Deep venous thrombosis was diagnosed if a new thrombus was present on a duplex ultrasonogram, venogram, or lower-extremity computed tomographic (CT) scan. Pulmonary embolism was diagnosed if present on a chest CT scan, CT angiogram, or pulmonary arteriogram or if a V-Q scan was interpreted...
Similarly, duplex ultrasonographic examination of the legs gives little information about central impedance of venous return above the inguinal ligament. We have modified the technique of duplex ultrasonography to evaluate the flow characteristics of the leg after tourniquet-induced venous engorgement, with...
In five patients, DVT was detected at duplex scan approximately 10 days after surgery. Four DVTs were found among the 133 patients who did not receive Nadroparin (1.68%). In the group with pharmacologic prevention, one patient manifested a DVT (0.42%), giving a total DVT incidence of 2.10...
When combined with assessments of venous anatomy as derived by venous duplex scan, these objective measures help to identify the severity of underlying venous disease, in addition to history and clinical examination. However, the very fact that numerous methods exist highlights that each has its own...

A male patient presented to the emergency department with a heart rate of 102 bpm and an oxygen saturation of 91%. This patient had undergone orthopedic surgery 3 weeks prior to the case. The CT scan showed heavy clot burden in the right PA and a mild clot burden in the left PA (Figur...
Lymphedema can be diagnosed through physical examination, Doppler ultrasound, MRI, and CT scan. Furthermore, treatment options for lymphedema may include antibiotics, pain medications, compression garments, physical therapy, multiplayer compression bandaging, elevation, exercises, and surgeries like lymphatic...
Data on the pattern of venous segmental reflux were available on 1092 subjects on whom a duplex scan was successfully and fully completed for both legs. No statistically significant difference was detected in the pattern of reflux between right and left legs. Data are given here for the left ...
