Fig. 2 Duplex scan of same vessels as Fig. 1. Probe compression shows incomplete compressibility of common femoral vein containing nonocclusive thrombus: a, right common femoral vein; b, superficial femoral artery; c, profunda femoris artery.

Fig. 5 Duplex scan of left popliteal fossa shows cross-sectional view of (a) popliteal vein, (b) popliteal artery, and (c) Baker's cyst containing echogenic material. Cyst originally misinterpreted as thrombus in the popliteal vein.
