Study of vein mechanism on pregnancy condition for early diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis

Abstract

In this paper, the study is conducted as an effort to provide better visualization of vein mechanism properties between healthy subjects and pregnant subjects. Here, it is proposed to evaluate the vessel condition for the pregnant subject and comparison to the healthy subject is done. Pregnancy had been one of the risk factor that contributes to the development of thrombus in the vessel which called Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). The DVT condition usually diagnosed using the ultrasound which is non-invasive, by monitoring the development of thrombus in the vessel. In this study, evaluation on two important parameters which are the measurement of the vessel wall displacement and also the blood flow velocity in the vein was done. It is believed that these two elements are crucial to construct a clinical model of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) risk factor, which constitutes an important contribution for predicting probability of the development of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and help in preventing this condition.
