[Measuring methods in dermatological angiology (author's transl)].
From the practical point of view following measuring methods offer a valuable help for the assessment of vascular leg problems: 1. Doppler probe. 2. Peripheral venous pressure measurements. 3. Plethysmography. 4. Thermography. Among these methods, a Doppler ultrasonic detector belongs to the basic equipment of every physician dealing with peripheral vascular problems. Severity and localization of arterial occlusions, pelvic vein obstruction and valvular incompetence of superficial and deep leg veins can be verified by this method. The other procedures provide information concerning the severity of a venous insufficiency and the indication and control of therapy. They can also be applied as screening methods for deep vein thrombosis.
