VENOUS DOPPLER OF LOWER EXTREMITIES 

CLINICAL HISTORY: The patient is a 56-year-old male examined to rule out DVT in the legs. This examination was compared with a prior venous Duplex sonogram of May 2006. 

ULTRASOUND FINDINGS:
High-definition realtime duplex sonogram of the deep veins of the right and left leg is performed in sagittal and transverse views. 

The common femoral vein, the superficial femoral vein, the popliteal vein and posterior tibial veins of both legs are normal in caliber and compressible. There is a normal phasic Doppler flow in the deep veins of the left leg. 

IMPRESSION: There is no sonographic evidence of identifiable thrombosis of the deep veins of the left leg. There has been no significant interval change compared to the prior sonogram of the deep veins of the legs.
