Imaging the leg veins
Impedance plethysmography[1], Doppler ultrasonography, compression ultrasound scanning of the leg veins, combined with duplex measurements (to determine blood flow), can reveal a blood clot and its extent (i.e. whether it is below or above the knee).
Examples
- Example #1: CT images: DVT at left leg
- Example #2: 2D TOF GRE MRV images: Bilateral deep vein thromboses
