Vascular/DVT

DVT Study

femoral vein deep to artery with what was likely a chronic thrombus obstructing much of the FV lumen

CFV clot in short axis - seen at about 3 cm depth bottom right corner

Superficial Veins

Superficial thrombophlebitis - note how there is some echogenic debris in the vein but it's still compressible. Acute clot can still be deformable and tends to be less echogenic than chronic clot.

Patient with a lump in the forearm. Honestly, had no idea what I was looking at when I did the scan, but now it is clearly an acute thrombus in a superficial vein.

Same clot as image to left, but now in long axis with color flow. Acute clots tend to be darker than chronic, more deformable, and the vein may be dilated as it tries to accommodate blood flow with the decreased lumen.

Carotid

some turbulent flow at the carotid bulb (normal)

arterial thrombus

on the left you can see echogenic material in the long axis view of the popliteal artery - on the right see the same image with color flow outlining the thrombus a bit
