Would these not be able to detect clots (ie DVT/PE) in calf and such since you are already going for ultrasound @ first detection?

[neumann → jonbaer]

yeah - but it would need a whole bunch to see where the clot would pop up! But also, PE test isn't usually done with ultrasound - it's sensitivity is too low for PE. For DVT Ultrasound most tests rely on compression testing to see if there is a thrombus present that would inhibit compression of the vein.
