Lower extremity's venous pathology was traditionally investigated by intravenous venography. Nowadays Color Doppler flow imaging is widely accepted as a well established, noninvasive method for the evaluation of deep pelvic and lower extremity's venous system. The vast majority of authors conclude that the method can safely replace diagnostic venography in all patients with venous thrombosis, thrombophlebitis and valve or communicating veins insuffciency. Optimal performance of Color Doppler flow imaging as a diagnostic tool for the whole lower limb veins requires: Proper equipment specifications and settings. Knowledge of regional venous anatomy. Established examination protocols. Evaluation of morphological and functional findings. Documentation of the findings. All these steps are described as a sequence of guidelines, photographs and multiple ultrasonographic images. Our paper can be useful to all physicians or sonographers involved with color Doppler studies for the evaluation of lower limb venous diseases and abnormalities.
传统上，下肢静脉病变是通过静脉造影来进行研究的。如今，彩色多普勒血流成像作为一种成熟的非侵入性方法，已被广泛用于评估盆腔深部和下肢静脉系统。绝大多数作者认为，该方法能够安全地取代静脉造影，用于所有患有静脉血栓形成、血栓性静脉炎以及瓣膜或交通静脉功能不全的患者。要使彩色多普勒血流成像作为诊断整个下肢静脉的工具发挥最佳性能，需要：合适的设备规格和设置。了解局部静脉解剖结构。既定的检查方案。对形态学和功能学检查结果进行评估。记录检查结果。所有这些步骤都以一系列指南、照片和多张超声图像的形式进行了描述。我们的论文对于所有参与彩色多普勒研究以评估下肢静脉疾病和异常情况的医生或超声检查人员可能会有所帮助。
