Abstract:
This is a prospective study and carried out in B¹ch Mai hospital. We report our result with a group of 18 patients. All of them were undergone Doppler ultrasound and compared with contrast venography. The sensitivity and specificity of Doppler color ultrasound were determined to contrast venography (Se: 94%, Sp: 72%). Results: Doppler color has gained in precision and popularity. The technique is safer than invasive technique. It has been adapted for purpose of diagnosing deep venous thrombosis. It provides a diagnosis in a more timely and efficient manner than noninvasive technique. In equivocal cases of deep venous thrombosis, a contrast venogram should be carried out
