Thromboembolic diseases including deep vein thrombus (DVT) are major causes of morbidity and mortality. Detection of DVT in low extremities is difficult. There are some accepted imaging techniques in clinic but most of them have several disadvantages limiting their effective use. Because of this, researchers are still performed to develop a rapid, specific means of detecting and/or imaging venous thrombi-based on the changing composition of the thrombus.
