Colour doppler ultrasound; A useful diagnostic tool for venous imaging

ABSTRACT

The incidence and prevalence of venous thrombosis can only be estimated as most episodes go undetected clinically. Venous Thromboembolism [VTE] is a major source of emboli in 95% cases of pulmonary embolism [P.E], which in tuner is one of the leading causes of death in patients dying undetected. This study was carried out in the Department of Radiology and Ultrasound at Allied Hospital, PMC Faisalabad for a period of 8 months and total number of cases are 100. The objective was to evaluate the case of VTE and their squealae by using Colour Doppler studies. The result was that colour doppler sonography and colour enhanced technique has improved the sensitivity of blood flow detection
