description: | In 50 patients with suspected deep-vein thrombosis the diagnostic accuracy of standardised clinical examination, doppler ultrasound, impedance plethysmography, and technetium-99m-labelled-fibrinogen scintigraphy (venoscan) was compared with that of X-ray venography. Physical examination was the least accurate method. Impedance plethysmography, venoscan, and ultrasound had accuracies of 65%, 80%, and 82%, respectively. The initial X-ray venogram report had an accuracy of 90% compared with the interpretation of two experienced radiologists. The venoscan was equivocal in 32% of patients, and in the remaining patients the accuracy was 97%. Objective methods of investigation are essential for diagnosing deep-vein thrombosis. Of those tested, the X-ray venogram was the only investigation suitable for definitive diagnosis. The venoscan may have a role as a screening procedure, to be followed by X-ray venography in patients with equivocal venoscan results. |
