[[File:Central venous catheter with a fibrin sheath.jpg|thumb|The fibrin sheath is indirectly seen in these images before and after radiocontrast infusion, as the radiocontrast collects around the catheter.]]
Fibrin sheaths of central venous catheters can be suspected when it is possible to infuse into it but not to aspirate.

Fibrin sheaths are usually detected by fluoroscopic catheter contrast angiography.<ref name="KnutstadHager2016">{{cite journal|last1=Knutstad|first1=K.|last2=Hager|first2=B.|last3=Hauser|first3=M.|title=Radiologic diagnosis and management of complications related to central venous access|journal=Acta Radiologica|volume=44|issue=5|year=2016|pages=508–516|issn=0284-1851|doi=10.1080/j.1600-0455.2003.00115.x}}</ref> Non-ionic contrastwith a high iodine concentration (for example 300 mg/ml) is injected by hand using a 20-ml syringe.
