Abstract: The main goal of this review was to emphasizes the roles of Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis and evaluation of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and to discuss the accuracy, advantage and disadvantage in compared with other diagnostic methods. A comprehensive review of the literature for all studies evaluating the roles and accuracy of Doppler ultrasound in diagnosis, was performed using Database searches included: Medline from PubMed, and Embase for those studied published up to January,2017. Following Mesh terms were used in search strategies: “thrombosis, venous thrombosis, thrombophlebitis, venography, ultrasonography, ultrasound, Doppler, and duplex”. Only English-language articles indexed principally in Medline were included, and with human subjects only. Several research studies in literary works vouch for the total precision of Doppler ultrasound in the detection of DVT in the symptomatic patient. The total precision of evaluating ultrasound in the asymptomatic patient is less clear. Lots of reports on using screening ultrasound (Doppler) lack corroboration of precision with comparison venography. There have actually varied results between research studies in the accuracy of colour Doppler or compression sonographic methods in showing calf bone DVT. Much of these research studies have struggled with high prices of practically inadequate examinations. Power Doppler (colour Doppler power) has a higher sensitivity than standard colour Doppler. It needs to consequently enable the detection of sluggish venous circulation in patent vessels, that may not be demonstrated by conventional colour Doppler.
Keywords: Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), Doppler ultrasonography.
