The important technical advances in the last few years in the field of ultrasonic imaging and Doppler velocimetry now enable an accurate evaluation of the vasomotricity, blood flow and compliance of the large peripheral arteries. The information provided by these new non-invasive techniques in clinical pharmacology is considerable as they make possible repeated measurements of different parameters of regional circulation (diameters, flow, pulse wave velocity and modulus of elasticity) and the assessment of the efforts of different vasoactive drugs on these values. Some limitations are nevertheless inherent to the non-invasive nature of the examination.
过去几年中，超声成像和多普勒测速领域的重要技术进展，现在能够对大的外周动脉的血管舒缩功能、血流和顺应性进行准确评估。这些新的非侵入性技术在临床药理学中提供的信息相当可观，因为它们使得重复测量区域循环的不同参数（直径、血流、脉搏波速度和弹性模量）以及评估不同血管活性药物对这些值的作用成为可能。然而，检查的非侵入性本质也存在一些固有的局限性。
