title: [Imaging real-time sonography (B-scan) of peripheral veins--possibilities for use with reference to secondary prevention].
abstract: In 2400 male and 1400 female persons the proximal femoral and saphenal venous vessels have been monitored and measured with a Ultramark 4, build by ATL, by use of 7.5 megacycle/s. transducer. Moreover, we took the venous calibers at the junction of the saphenous veins into femoral veins. In patients with marked varices or less symptomatic patients as well as clinically asymptomatic persons with positive family history there could be found significantly bigger dilatation of vessel calibers in those patients laying than those standing up, in contrast to healthy persons. B-Scan ultrasound consequently in future offers a new range of diagnostic values in examination of venous vessels, that is to say a non-invasive, reproducible and haemodynamically tolerable method which helps to improve secondary prevention.
