Abstract

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of direct 64-slice CT venography(CTV) in the detection of deep venous thrombosis(DVT) of lower extremities.Materials and Methods 19 patients with suspicious DVT of the lower extremities underwent direct CTV using 64-slice CT scanner.Results Direct CTV detected DVT in 15 patients.The DVT detected by CTV were located in 4 iliac veins,7 femoral veins,9 popliteal veins,and 5 calf veins.Conclu-sion Combined with postprocessing techniques,direct CTV has high values in the detection of lower extremities DVT.
