title: [A method of venous study by real time ultrasonography associated with directional and continuous Doppler ultrasonography].
abstract: The authors propose a method of investigation of the superficial and deep venous axes of the limbs, neck, abdomen and pelvis by using successively directional and continuous wave Doppler and real time high resolution echotomography. The principle is to recognise normal and pathological venous flow by the Doppler technique and to detect the intrinsic (thrombus, agenesis) or extrinsic abnormalities causing local haemodynamic disturbances or distal emboli even in the absence of flow disturbance by echotomography. If the suggested protocol is strictly observed, the method allows diagnosis of the majority of pathologies, not only their haemodynamic consequences but also the underlying causes.
