Strain-elasticity of popliteal vein in pregnancy for early diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis

An in vivo assessment of popliteal vein strain-elasticity measurement of pregnant subjects had been carried out. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship of the strain-elasticity of the blood vessel in pregnant subjects with the development of thrombus formation which may lead to deep vein thrombosis condition (DVT). Method applied for the assessment was using the ultrasound scanning since it is noninvasive to the subject and...
