[What does the Doppler ultrasonic technic accomplish in angiology?].
Doppler ultrasound was the most important diagnostic improvement in angiology during the last twenty years. This technique has been used answering the following clinical questions: severity of peripheral vascular disease; diagnostic of cerebro-vascular disease and diagnostic of deep vein thrombosis. Doppler ultrasound provides a clinical useful and objective evaluation of peripheral artery disease. Mönckeberg's sclerosis and leg oedema give false results only. The sensitivity of carotid Doppler investigations is over 90%. Deep vein thrombosis of the leg and pelvis can be diagnosed correctly in about 90% of cases. Ultrasonic methods are not only reliable but have also the advantages of being non-invasive, repeatable and inexpensive.
