Abstract

BACKGROUND: Compression ultrasonography of the leg is established for triaging proximal lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). AutoDVT, a machine-learning software, provides a tool for nonspecialists in acquiring compression sequences to be reviewed by an expert for patient triage. The purpose of this study was to test image acquisition and remote triaging in a clinical setting.
