Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

Diagnosis

Doppler ultrasonography is the most widely used imaging test for evaluating patients with suspected DVT.  If a DVT is diagnosed with ultrasound additional testing with CT, MRI or conventional (fluoroscopic) venography may be required to determine the extent or amount of blood clot present in the large pelvic veins. 
 

A CT angiogram (CTA) of the pulmonary arteries or a nuclear medicine V/Q scan are imaging tests often used to evaluate patients with suspected pulmonary embolus.
