Figure 4

Fully compressible, normal vein (grade 1). Dual-frame image of the left femoral vein (lcfv) and artery (lcfa) in a 44-year old groin injector who has never injected in the lcfv. Patency of the lcfv is demonstrated by the complete collapse of the vein with transducer pressure (long arrow). Note the post-acoustic shadows (short arrows).
