Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Formation of blood clots in the deep venous system, most commonly the lower extremities, carrying the acute danger of pulmonary embolism (PE) and long-term post-thrombotic syndrome.
Incidence is approximately 1 to 2 per 1,000 person-years in general adult populations.
American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) and American Society of Hematology (ASH) guidelines mandate using pre-test probability scoring (Wells Criteria) combined with high-sensitivity D-dimer before imaging.
