A member asked:
What to do if i have a possible dvt, have had an ultrasound, it did not show, has anyone experienced this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ultrasound can miss: A venous doppler ultrasound is good test for finding a dvt. However it is possible that it can miss a small or incomplete dvt. This is not an uncommon event so if you still have symptoms and think it might have missed a DVT follow up with you doctor to discuss options such a repeat test or other tests.
