Abstract

CT venography (CTV) is often performed in conjunction with CT of the chest (CTA) in order to increase the accuracy for the detection of pulmonary embolism (PE). However, if limited bedside ultrasound (EUS) is as accurate in detecting deep venous thrombosis (DVT) as CTV, the CTV portion of the study may be eliminated leading to less radiation, less potential nephrotoxicity and lower cost.
