Abstract

Imaging plays an important role in the identification and assessment of clinically suspected venous pathology. The purpose of this article is to review the spectrum of image-based diagnostic tools used in the investigation of suspected deep vein disease, both obstructive (deep vein thrombosis and post-thrombotic vein changes) as well as insufficiency (e.g., compression syndromes and pelvic venous insufficiency). Additionally, specific imaging modalities are used for the treatment and during clinical follow-up. The use of duplex ultrasound, magnetic resonance venography, computed tomography venography and intravascular ultrasound as well as conventional venography will be discussed in this pictorial review.
