Thermography in diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis.

A Rare Presentation of Arterial Thrombosis after Venous Thrombosis in a Patient with Gastric Cancer

Background: Venous thromboembolism, which comprises deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with cancer. The aim of the present study was to report a rare presentation of arterial thrombosis after venous thrombosis in a patient with gastric cancer. Report of the Case: A 45 year-old female patient with locally advanced gas...

Thermographic Diagnosis of Deep Venous Thrombosis1

prior to phlebography. Results in disagreement were reviewed retrospectively. Ascending phlebography was performed using a modified method and diagnostic criteria described by Rabinov and Paulin (7). We obtained 211 phlebograms in 200 patients. USINGTHERMOGRAPHY to diagnose deep venous thrombosis was suggested in 1972 by Soulen et al. (1). They confirmed that thermography was helpful in recogni...

Thermal Imaging in the Investigation of Deep Venous Thrombosis

Preliminary assessment of clinically suspected deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limb by thermography avoids the need for over one third of venograms or duplex Doppler ultrasound scans. Clinical diagnosis of DVT is notoriously unreliable hence the need for an accurate means of clinical investigation. Untreated DVT is dangerous as it can progress to pulmonary embolism (PE) which is frequ...

Liquid crystal thermography and C reactive protein in the detection of deep venous thrombosis.

After-exercise thermography and prediction of deep vein thrombosis.

A total of 112 patients participated in a prospective study of after-exercise thermography as a screening method for predicting risk of postoperative deep venous thrombosis. The fibrinogen-uptake test was used to detect thrombosis after elective surgery. The incidence of the complication showed no significant difference between patients who had had positive and those who had had negative thermo...
