Overview
- However, duplex (doppler with B-mode) ultrasound is less sensitive than CT-angiography and MRA for detecting atherosclerotic RAS and FMD-related RAS, but convenient availability, modest expenditure, non-irradiating and easily providing information about kidney size, the hemodynamic impact of the stenosis, and associated renal disease, makes DUS as a reasonable first-line screening imaging modality.[1]
Duplex Ultrasound
Duplex ultrasound of renal artery may be helpful in the diagnosis of fibromuscular dysplasia. An elevated blood velocities, turbulent blood flow, and tortuosity of the mid and distal portions of artery are the suggestive diagnostic criteria for fibromuscular dysplasia.[2][3]
- According to recommendation of European consensus on the diagnosis and management of fibromuscular dysplasia,the results of DUS, in the case of positive findings or evev negative results despite a high clinical suspicion, should be confirmed by another imaging technique.[4]
