Date of Exam: 7/12/10
Patient: John Doe
Birth Date: 12/01/1956
Referring Physician: Dr. Brown
Technologist: S. Smart
MR: 110222
Venous duplex examination using B-mode, color flow and spectral Doppler was
performed. (CPT: 93971)
INDICATION: Right lower extremity edema
FINDINGS: The common femoral vein, femoral vein, popliteal vein, peroneal veins and
posterior tibial veins were all assessed for patency. B-mode ultrasound demonstrates a
non-compressible and dilated popliteal vein with hypoechoic intraluminal debris
extending just above the knee, partially obstructing the popliteal vein. All other vessels
are compressible and demonstrate phasic, competent flow with normal augmentation.
IMPRESSION:
1) Evidence of an acute DVT of the right popliteal vein.
2) Incidental finding, an enlarged lymph node noted in the groin measuring 2.5 cm.
Preliminary result was phoned to Dr. Brown’s office prior to release of patient.
