    Diagnostic imaging is essential tool for correct diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis. Ultrasonography (US) and CT venography (CTV) are the mainstay. US is noninvasive and the first choice for diagnosis of leg swelling and ruling out of deep vein thrombosis. CT pulmonary arteriography is already first choice of diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. CTV after CT pulmonary arteriography can be performed easily and quickly in emergency condition, and reasonable choice for diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis in patients with pulmonary embolism. Visualization of thrombosis of inferior vena cava and iliac veins with US is sometimes difficult, although CTV can visualize thrombosis of those areas well. US and CTV has complimentary role in diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis.

    For the patients with suspected massive type of acute thromboembolism (APTE), chest X-ray and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) should be performed first and subsequent pulmonary arteriography confirms the diagnosis with possible interventions including percutaneous cardiopulmonary support, etc. Computed tomography (CT) is now the first line diagnostic imaging for the other types of APTE and possible deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy is available for the patients with allergy for the iodinated contrast, renal dysfunction, pregnancy, negative CT finding despite clinically highly suspected APTE, and for the evaluation of subsequent treatments. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is possible alternative to CT and may provide more information about thrombus age and perfusion.
