What you will learn

Functional arterial and venous testing is complementary to ultrasound imaging of the peripheral arterial and venous system. Together, these modalities allow us to paint a complete and vivid picture of the patient's peripheral arterial and venous pathology. This chapter covers ABI testing, segmental testing, and pulse-volume recording as well as air plethysmography testing. Furthermore, modern technology allows us to use alternative ultrasound modalities in order to improve our visualization of the peripheral venous system. This chapter also covers one of these modalities: intravascular ultrasound.
