[Color-coded duplex sonography].
Color Coded Duplex-Sonography (CCD) is the latest development in ultrasound equipment for non-invasive evaluation of the vascular system. Compared to conventional Duplex-Sonography the advantage of CCD is the ease of handling and quicker diagnosis, although there in no significant increase in information with CCD. The main indications for CCD are superficially located circumscribed vascular lesions as in carotid artery stenosis, tumors in the neck, disturbed renal transplant perfusion, hemodialysis vascular access shunts, deep vein thrombosis, testicular torsion and complications following vascular surgery of the extremities. The abdominal applications are limited.
