**A deep venous thrombosis DVT **ultrasound is used to image or see the clot. This
examination purpose is to evaluate clot in the femoral and popliteal regions.

###  **Which ultrasound scanner is used for Deep Venous Thrombosis diagnosis? **

Using the [SIFULTRAS-5.31](https://sifsof.com/product/wireless-linear-probe-portable-ultrasound-scanner-sifultras-5-31/)
while imaging the deep veins of the leg, the physician tries to collapse or compress
the veins. If a vein cannot be compressed because a clot prevents the vein from 
collapsing, a DVT diagnosis is made.

The other option is using the **[SIFULTRAS-5.34 color doppler wireless linear ultrasound probe](https://sifsof.com/product/linear-wireless-ultrasound-scanner-sifultras-5-34/)
to detect abnormalities of **blood flow. Sound waves are bounced off the blood within
a vein.

[ Bedside Ultrasonography in Deep Vein Thrombosis  ](https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1362989-overview)

Flowing blood changes the sound waves by the “Doppler effect.” The ultrasound scanner
can detect these changes and determine whether blood within a vein is flowing normally.
Absence of blood flow confirms the diagnosis of DVT : Deep Venous Thrombosis

The ability to detect DVT using either of the **wireless linear ultrasound scanners**
in the large veins above the knee is so good that when the test is positive, no 
further testing is necessary and treatment may be started.

Proper patient and probe positioning, as well as the application of appropriate 
probe pressure at different stages of the examination are essential to accurately
visualize and assess the femoral, saphenous, and popliteal veins for the presence
of a thrombus.
