Abstract :
In this paper, the clinical experiment study is presented to diagnose the Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). The diagnosis of DVT is commonly used by monitoring the blood velocity and present of thrombus in a vessel from B-mode ultrasound image associated with the application of Doppler ultrasound. Since it is difficult to recognize the vessel condition at the early stage of DVT, this study is proposed to evaluate the vein mechanism based on different categories of weight at the early stage of DVT. The wall displacement and blood flow velocity are considered to be the important parameters to construct a clinical model of DVT risk factor, thereby constitutes an important contribution for predicting probability of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).
