[Imaging of arteries and veins].
For all arteries, which are easily accessible by ultrasound, a colordoppler ultrasound investigation is the first choice. The method is cost effective, precise, without radiation hazard and generates not only morphological, but also useful hemodynamic information. For the investigation of veins (Varicosis and thrombosis) colordoppler ultrasound has almost uniformly replaced phlebography as the method of choice.
