Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Critical Care Ultrasonography, 2e AB - Duplex ultrasound examination of the peripheral arterial and venous systems has been refined to the point where it has become the initial modality of choice for vascular diagnosis. Technical advances have improved diagnostic accuracy such that treatment decisions previously based on angiographic studies can now be based solely on noninvasive studies. This is most evident in the noninvasive diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT),1 and is becoming more prevalent in the management of carotid occlusive disease and atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease.
