title: [Light reflex rheography--a new examination method in phlebology].
abstract: The author discusses a new non-invasive method of examination of the venous system of the lower extremities. He explains the physical principle of the method and the practical procedure. He describes the curve in subjects with a healthy venous system and the curve in different grades of venous insufficiency. The diagnostic value of the examination, in particular in combination of native and occlusion tests, is emphasized. One advantage is that the apparatus can be connected with a ultrasonic flowmeter and thus the acoustic signal can be recorded on paper. By combining these two methods, the majority of venous diseases can be diagnosed by non-invasive procedures. In the conclusion the author summarizes hitherto assembled experience with this progressive examination method.
