Computed tomography diagnosis of venous thrombosis of the lower extremities and pelvis with contrast material.

摘要: Venography using the combination of contrast material given intravenously in a vein arm and computed tomography scans allow accurate diagnosis deep thrombosis lower extremities pelvis. The advantages this method included actual visualization clot lumen vein, more precise evaluation upper part thigh pelvic area demonstration adjacent abnormalities, which may contribute to development thrombus. opposite extremity is visualized at same time for comparison venous systems associated muscle limb swelling thrombosed side. There less pain risk serious skin extravasation with compared standard venogram foot vein. Repeat tests can be easily performed follow-up studies after thrombolytic or anticoagulant therapy.
