Role of Colour Doppler in Evaluation of Peripheral Arterial Diseases of Lower Limb Assuming CT Angiography as Gold Standard
Abstract: Background- Peripheral arterial diseases (PAD) is an atherosclerotic occlusive condition which causes intermittent claudication and rest pain mainly in elderly males. The main aim is to identify the role of colour doppler in lower limb peripheral arterial disease. Material and Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 80 patients having clinical suspicion of PAD undergoing CDUS followed by CTA. A comparative analysis of arterial system was done by both gray scale and color spectrum doppler analysis on CDUS as well as by CTA for colour flow, % stenosis, length of involved segment, collateral flow, thrombus, plaque and wall calcification using chi square test. Results and discussion: Out of 640 arterial segments studied on both CTA and CDUS in our study, CTA picked up abnormality in 370 segments (57.85 %) whereas colour Doppler was positive in 400 segments (62.5 %). CDUS detected
