DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS AND DUPLEX SCANNING ULTRASOUND
In an analysis of 528 symptomatic patients, approximately 36.4% of patients referred to a duplex scanning lab had deep vein thrombosis. When considering a deep vein thrombosis diagnosis, age > 65 years old, the presence of edema, pain, cancer, and suspected or proven pulmonary embolism should be considered major risk factors.
