    Doppler ultrasonics examinations are highly reliable for detecting peripheral arterial disease. This noninvasive technique accurately assesses lower limb arterial occlusive lesions, proving valuable for patient evaluation.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Medical Technology

    Background:

    • Peripheral vascular occlusive disease affects numerous patients.
    • Accurate diagnosis of arterial lesions is crucial for effective treatment.
    • Noninvasive imaging modalities are preferred for patient safety and cost-effectiveness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of lower limb arterial Doppler ultrasonics examinations.
    • To compare Doppler ultrasonics results with arteriography in detecting arterial occlusive lesions.
    • To determine the reliability of Doppler ultrasonics for assessing peripheral arterial disease.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving 125 patients undergoing both Doppler ultrasonics and arteriography.
    • Analysis of 250 lower limbs and 963 arterial segments (iliofemoral, femoral, popliteal).

  • Comparison of ultrasound findings with arteriographic documentation for accuracy assessment.

    • Main Results:

    • Doppler ultrasonics correctly identified 649 out of 673 normal arterial segments.
    • Arteriography confirmed 261 out of 290 abnormal ultrasound findings.
    • Overall, 910 out of 963 segments were accurately defined by Doppler ultrasonics, yielding a 95% reliability rate.

    Conclusions:

    • Lower limb arterial Doppler ultrasonics is a simple, inexpensive, and noninvasive technique.
    • The Doppler ultrasonic technique demonstrates high reliability in detecting and assessing peripheral arterial occlusive lesions.
    • Doppler ultrasonics serves as a valuable adjunct in the evaluation of patients with peripheral vascular occlusive disease.
