Clinical or Imaging Diagnosis of the Current Medical Practice for Superior Vena Cava Syndrome?

Most cases of superior vena cava syndrome are easily diagnosed bya clinical examination alone, but several diagnostic tests and procedures can be helpful. When a patient presentswith a suspected diagnosis of superior vena cava syndrome, the first step is to obtain an imaging study that confirms the...
