AB Ultrasound  evaluation  for  deep  venous  thrombosis  (DVT)  is  one  of  the  11  core  ultrasound  applications  for  emergency  physicians  as  listed  in  the  2008  American  College  of  Emergency  Physicians  guidelines.1  This  evaluation  typically  consists  of  a  limited  compression  ultrasound  of  the  proximal  lower  extremities.  Although  different  from  a  typical  “duplex”  examination  performed  in  many  vascular  laboratories  in  the  United  States,  which  consists  of  a  combination  of  whole  leg  compression  ultrasound  and  Doppler  ultrasound,  limited  compression  ultrasound  has  been  widely  studied  as  the  initial  investigative  tool  for  the  diagnosis  of  DVT.2,3
