Ultrasonography, especially real-time-B-mode, is outstandingly suitable for detecting larger alterations of abdominal blood vessels or stenosis of the truncus coeliacus. This stenosis could be detected in 18 cases by real-time-scanning. 10 of these diagnosis were confirmed by angiography. The clinical value of these findings is discussed.
