A Comparison of Real-Time Compression Ultrasonography with Impedance Plethysmography for the Diagnosis of Deep-Vein Thrombosis in Symptomatic Outpatients

Abstract

In making the diagnosis of deep-vein thrombosis in symptomatic outpatients, serial compression ultrasonography is preferable to impedance plethysmography, in view of its superior performance in detecting venous thrombosis.
