Abstract :
In this paper, In this paper, the construction of phantom mimics vessel is presented to diagnose the Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). The diagnosis of DVT is commonly used by monitoring the blood velocity and present of thrombus in a vessel from B-mode ultrasound image associated with the application of Doppler ultrasound. Since it is difficult to recognize the vessel condition at the earliest stage of DVT, this study is to assess the vessel behavior at the early stage of DVT using phantom experiment. The phantom size and elasticity is considered to be the important parameters in constructing the phantom mimic vessel. Rapid prototyping technology and solid works are used in constructing the phantom.
