Measurement-Based Deep Venous Thrombosis Screening System
نویسندگان
چکیده
An experimental system and interface that indicate the likelihood of deep venous thrombosis using objective measures was developed, based on ultrasound image processing using a modified Star-Kalman algorithm and a sensorized ultrasound probe. Force, location and image data is used to assess a vessel segment for compression. A user interface displays the results using a 3-D representation. A tissue phantom was developed for testing and validation. Initial results with this phantom and healthy volunteers are presented.

Perioperative antithrombotic clinical regimens have reduced the incidence of postoperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Long-term effects of asymptomatic postoperative DVT have been studied in a number of clinical trials and the present review describes the clinical significance of asymptomatic postoperative DVT regarding the possible development of postthrombotic syndrome (PTS). We performed ...
