What is white leg or milk leg
(Begins with a DVT that progresses to total occlusion of the deep venous system. Then the leg must rely on the superficial venous system for drainage)
100
These are the vessels that connect the upper extremity veins to the Superior Vena Cava bilaterally
What is Innominate veins (Brachiocephalic veins)
100
If a patient has there arms up over their head, we may not see this even those it's a negative study
What is respiratory phasicity
100
This is one of the sides of Virchow's Triangle that can cause a DVT
What is 1)Stasis, 2)Hypercoagulability, 3)Vein wall injury
100
The IVC has this many valves
What is Zero
200
This vein has the greatest number of valves in the lower extremities
What is the Greater Saphenous Vein
200
This arm vein is unable to be compressed even in a normal exam
What is Subclavian vein
200
This is the name of DVT in the superficial system
What is Superficial Thrombophlebitis
200
This is another name for Synovial cyst
What is Baker's Cyst
200
This is the Gold Standard we use to assess veins in Ultrasound
What is comparison with compression in a transverse image
300
This superficial vessel flows into the deep system at the popliteal vein.
What is the Lesser Saphenous vein
300
Due to ICAVL accreditation standards, we always image this vessel bilateral in arms regardless if unilateral or bilateral study is ordered
What is Subclavian veins
300
D-dimers can mean a lot of things, but a negative D-Dimer
means this related to venous legs
What is no DVT (negative venous ultrasound)
300
This type of DVT may be able to be compressed
What is chronic DVT
300
True or False, the Popliteal vein has more valves than the Common femoral vein
What is True
400
The greater Saphenous vein starts in this region of the body (make sure to mention anterior vs. medial vs. lateral vs. posterior)
What is medial ankle area
400
The axillary vein is located between these two superficial vessels starting with the most proximal vessel first
What is 1)Cephalic vein and 2)Basilic vein
400
Steady, continuous, nonphasic flow in a vessel should clear the sonographer to this
What is DVT/Occlusion of the proximal vessel
400
Effort induced, spontaneous thrombosis of subclavian - axillary vein or repeated extrinsic compression of Subclavian & Axillary vein describe this pathology
What is Paget -Schroetter Syndrome
400
May Thurner's syndrome shows is characterized by this in the legs.
What is Compression/ thrombosis of the LEFT iliac VEIN by overlying RIGHT iliac ARTERY
500
The next vessel after the popliteal vein is this
What is distal segment of the femoral vein (or Superficial femoral vein)
500
From the following vessels, these veins are not paired: Brachial veins, axillary veins, ulnar veins
What is Axillary veins
500
Reverberation artifact from reb blood cells clumping together is termed this:
What is Rouleaux flow
500
Severe occlusive DVT that causes massive thigh and calf swelling, limb cyanosis, Ilio - femoral outflow obstruction ultimately impeding arterial flow is termed this:
What is Phlegmasia Caerulea Dolens
500
Only 25% of the population have 1 valve in this lower extremity vein
