Abstract :
In this research study, clinical experimental study of non-invasive assessment of in vivo vessel valve behaviour is presented to diagnose the early stage of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). The DVT is commonly diagnosed by using the clinical diagnosis conducted by the physician, D-dimer test, impedance plethysmography and etc. However, in current technologies, the DVT had been diagnosed using ultrasound, which is considered to be non-invasive and low cost compared to other methods available. Thus, in this particular research, assessments of the vessel wall displacement and elasticity using ultrasound has been proposed. The vessel wall displacement and elasticity are considered to be important parameters to construct a clinical model of DVT risk factor. Those vein mechanisms were evaluated on the subject with no history of DVT and also subject that has DVT. The measurement obtained from the subjects has been compared as to construct a clinical model of DVT risk factor. Therefore, this particular research study is important in the contribution for predicting the probability of DVT on a human at the early stage.
