Comparison of the Accuracy of Impedance Plethysmography and Compression Ultrasonography in Outpatients with Clinically Suspected Deep Vein Thrombosis
Abstract
Impedance plethysmography (IPG) and compression ultrasonography (CUS) have been reported to be highly accurate for the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in symptomatic patients. In many centres CUS has become the method of choice. However, direct comparisons of the accuracy of IPG to CUS have not been performed.
