Peripheral vascular disease
Peripheral vascular disease ( 35 Questions)
This choice is incorrect because angiography is an invasive procedure that involves the injection of contrast dye into the blood vessels to visualize their structure and blood flow. It is not a non-invasive test.
This choice is incorrect because venography is an imaging test that involves the injection of contrast dye into a vein to visualize its flow. It is not commonly used to assess blood flow and blood pressure in the legs.
This choice is correct. Doppler ultrasound is a non-invasive test that uses sound waves to assess blood flow and blood pressure in the legs. It helps identify areas of reduced blood flow, blockages, and abnormalities in the blood vessels.
This choice is incorrect because magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic imaging technique that provides detailed images of the body's internal structures using a magnetic field and radio waves. While it can be used to assess blood vessels, it is not the primary test for evaluating blood flow in peripheral vascular diseases.
