Thermography in diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis.
The possibility that subclinical increased heat of the limb may be an early and reliable sign in the diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis is being investigated using thermography. Of the 35 cases studied 17 have had early deep venous thrombosis confirmed on phlebography. Of these, 16 cases have been previously diagnosed using thermography.

METHODS Patients hospitalized with DVT between July 1998 and June 2000 were identified by a computer search of discharge diagnoses. The discharge diagnosis was confir...
متن کاملNoninvasive diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis.
Deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremity poses a diagnostic challenge. Clinical signs and symptoms are often misleading, and sensitive and specific tests are essential for diagnosis. The cost, patient discomfort and risk of morbidity associated with contrast venography have led to the development of noninvasive diagnostic techniques such as Doppler ultrasound, impedance plethysmography and...

متن کاملCost-effectiveness of ruling out deep venous thrombosis in primary care versus care as usual.
BACKGROUND Referral for ultrasound testing in all patients suspected of DVT is inefficient, because 80-90% have no DVT. OBJECTIVE To assess the incremental cost-effectiveness of a diagnostic strategy to select patients at first presentation in primary care based on a point of care D-dimer test combined with a clinical decision rule (AMUSE strategy), compared with hospital-based strategies. ...
