Arterial vascular ultrasonography.
A new generation of high frequency, high resolution ultrasound scanners has provided unprecedented information about the state of the arterial wall in a variety of superficial vessels and can document the disturbed flow within them. The information now available is of great clinical value to many clinicians, including vascular surgeons and subspecialty internists who care for individuals at risk for accelerated atherosclerosis and other vascular diseases.
