Comparison of Various Noninvasive Techniques for Evaluating Deep Venous Thrombosis

Abstract

A series of noninvasive vascular tests was performed on groups of normal individuals (Group I) and on patients with chronic deep vein thrombophlebitis (Group II) to determine the relative specificity and sensitivity of the tests.1-10 Results indicate that the simpler tests, requiring a minimum of equipment and technique are as effective as certain of the more sophisticated procedures.
