Overview
Ultrasound
- Findings such as absent or monophasic flow velocity in doppler ultrasound are indicative of either an occlusion or a collateral flow.[1]
- For a complete evaluation of lower limb perfusion all of the iliac, femoral, popliteal and tibial arteries should be scanned by colorful doppler ultrasound.[2]
- Colorful doppler ultrasound has 89% and 68% sensitivity for iliac artery and popliteal artery, respectfully. Nevertheless it's sensitivity is higher for anterior and posterior tibial arteries (90%). [3][2]
- Doppler ultrasound is not accurate when there is considerable calcification of the infrapopliteal arteries.[4]
