✦ Synopsis

Purpose: to test the efficacy of Levovist, a galactose-based microbubble DreDaration, in enhancing the diagnostic quality of Color-&d Power-Doppler stud<es of the fimoroiliac tract in oatient with deeo venous thrombosis (DVT). Materials and Method;: 10 patients, witch cl&A suspicion of DVT, underwent contrast enhanced US evaluation, in order to evaluate the extension of thrombosis in the femoro-iliac tract and in the inferior vena cava. After the initial Doppler study, Levovist was intravenously injected through a peripheral vein of the foot. More iniections, up to four, at different concentrations (200
