ABSTRACT
Objective To study the value of 320 slice volume CT venography (CTV)and ultrasound in the diagnosis of lower limb deep vein thrombosis(DVT).Methods 51 patients with DVT confirmed by DSA were analyzed retrospectively,with comparing detection rate by direct method of CTV and ultrasound of the emboli in different parts of lower limb.Results In 5 1 patients,48 cases with DVTs were detected by CTV,including 124 thrombi,and 46 cases by ultrasound,finding 86 thrombi.CT diagnosed 34 pelvic deep vein thrombi,and ultrasound found 10.CT diagnosed 25 tibiofibular vein thrombi,and ultrasound found 5.CT diagnosed 2 femoral deep vein thrombi,and ultrasound found 1 1.Conclusion Direct method of CTV and ultrasound have high clinical value in the diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis,the former is better for the thrombosis in the pelvic deep veins and tibiofibular vein,while the latter is better for the thrombosis in the femoral deep vein.
