Overview
A number of invasive and non-invasive approaches are possible.[1]
Imaging Techniques
- Impedance plethysmography[2] : A venous thrombosis alters the normal response to temporary venous obstruction in a highly characteristic way. It causes a delay in emptying of the venous system after the release of the tourniquet.
- Doppler ultrasonography
- Compression ultrasound scanning of the leg veins, combined with duplex measurements (to determine blood flow)
