Doppler ultrasound was the most important diagnostic improvement in angiology during the last twenty years. This technique has been used answering the following clinical questions: severity of peripheral vascular disease; diagnostic of cerebro-vascular disease and diagnostic of deep vein thrombosis. Doppler ultrasound provides a clinical useful and objective evaluation of peripheral artery disease. Mönckeberg's sclerosis and leg oedema give false results only. The sensitivity of carotid Doppler investigations is over 90%. Deep vein thrombosis of the leg and pelvis can be diagnosed correctly in about 90% of cases. Ultrasonic methods are not only reliable but have also the advantages of being non-invasive, repeatable and inexpensive.
多普勒超声是过去二十年来血管学最重要的诊断进展。这项技术已被用于回答以下临床问题：外周血管疾病的严重程度；脑血管疾病的诊断以及深静脉血栓形成的诊断。多普勒超声对外周动脉疾病提供了临床有用且客观的评估。仅蒙克贝格硬化症和腿部水肿会给出错误结果。颈动脉多普勒检查的敏感性超过90%。腿部和骨盆的深静脉血栓形成在约90%的病例中能够被正确诊断。超声方法不仅可靠，而且具有无创、可重复和廉价的优点。
