Pressure-infusion venography of the leg with remote-control fluoroscopy.

A method for lower-extremity venography using remote-control fluoroscopy and radiography, as well as pressure infusion of contrast media, is described. This technique combines the advantages of fluoroscopically-timed and positioned radiographs with the improved image and size of overhead views. There is less radiation exposure to the patient, radiologist, and technologist than with venography performed with conventional fluoroscopy.
