深静脉血栓形成(DVT)及其后遗症肺栓塞(PE)是美国和其他发达国家可预防的住院死亡的主要原因。在检测到急性血栓后,必须将其与慢性DVT区分开来,以便进行适当的治疗。然而,目前在临床实践中没有可靠的血栓分期方法。在这项研究中,我们测试的假设,血凝块可以检测和分期使用三重超声(US)测试。Triplex US基于“黄金标准”双功US技术,并通过基于US的重建弹性成像进行增强。由纤维蛋白组成的血凝块随着发育和组织而变硬。通过对血栓弹性成像,可以检测和区分血栓,因此,提供了一种急需的DVT分期的无创方法。(电子邮件:emelian@umich.edu)(C)2002年世界医学生物学超声联合会。
Deep venous thrombosis (DVT), and its sequela, pulmonary embolism (PE), is the leading cause of preventable in-hospital mortality in the USA and other developed countries. After it is detected, acute clots must be differentiated from chronic DVT for appropriate treatment. However, there are no reliable thrombus staging methods presently available in clinical practice. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that blood clots can be detected and staged using a triplex ultrasound (US) test. Triplex US is based on a "gold standard" duplex US technique augmented by US-based reconstructive elasticity imaging. Fibrin-composed blood clots harden with development and organization. By imaging clot elasticity, it may be possible to both detect and differentiate clots and, therefore, provide an urgently needed noninvasive means of DVT staging.
