Evaluated the diagnostic performance and feasibility of the technique across 100 postpartum patients.
Demonstrated qualitative detection of deep vein thrombosis in the puerperal period, though specific quantitative diagnostic accuracy metrics (sensitivity, specificity, effect sizes) were not reported.
