Fig. 1 B-mode ultrasound image at 8 MHz of normal greater saphenous vein at high thigh (arrow). Superficial femoral artery (A) and common femoral vein (V) lie deep. Skin (S) is at left.

Fig. 2 B-mode ultrasound image at 8 MHz of same high thigh location as that shown in Fig. 1. Walls of normal greater saphenous vein (arrows) are now coapted by light pressure applied to skin surface with ultrasound probe. Superficial femoral artery (A) and common femoral vein (V) lie deep. Skin (S) is at left.

Fig. 3 Eight megahertz B-mode ultrasound image of acutely thrombosed greater saphenous vein (arrows) just below knee. Ovoid shape of vessel results from compression of relatively soft acute thrombus by pressure from ultrasound probe. Skin (S) is at left.

Fig. 5 B-mode ultrasound image at 8 MHz of greater saphenous vein at high thigh. Brightly echogenic, heterogeneous, partially occluding chronic thrombus lines superficial and deep walls (arrows). Skin (S) is at left.
