Hi, the best exam for DVT is non-invasive. Venous ultrasound is the standard imaging test for anyone suspected of having deep venous thrombosis (DVT)/blood clot. This exam can be performed at almost any radiology office or department. An US tech will perform the exam for you. A radiologist will interpret the results. The duplex ultrasound is very reliable especially for proximal (thigh) clots.
