Prospective assessment of the aorto-iliac segment by visual interpretation of frequency analysed Doppler waveforms--a
Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology
|January 1, 1984
Abstract:
In a group of 83 patients the prospective Doppler assessment of disease in the aorto-iliac segment, obtained from visual interpretation of the frequency analysed Doppler waveforms, is compared with subsequent arteriographic findings. The Doppler technique proved to be particularly accurate in the severely diseased vessels (sensitivity 87%, specificity 88%) but tended to underestimate the extent of the minimal/moderate disease.
