title: [Clinical use of duplex sonography of the abdomen].
abstract: The clinical use of the duplex methods in the abdominal space is at present partly based on case study and partly systematic. Established ranges of application exist for the portal circulation and the kidney transplant. This method enables for the first time a noninvasive diagnosis of mesenterial disturbances of blood flow. The future of the method in the abdominal space will be mainly determined by continued technical development and results of practical clinical application. Results achieved so far lead us to expect that the Duplex methods are a valuable addition to the sonographic palette.
