Screening for lower extremity deep venous thrombosis: An improved plethysmographic and Doppler approach

Noninvasive screening of the lower extremities for deep vein thrombosis was performed bilaterally on 1,118 patients. Impedance plethysmography alone was used in 868. Venography in 135 revealed an accuracy of 88 per cent, with a false-negative rate of 5.3 per cent and a false-positive rate of 18.6 pe...
