“…32 In addition, new ultrasound contrast agents based on more elastic, stable molecules prolong the time of enhancement. 33 Although the ultrasound device we used in this study was not equipped with second harmonic imaging nor did we use a second-generation ultrasound contrast agent, both these newer techniques hold great promise for ultrasound surveillance of endovascular aortic grafts.…”

Microbubble ultrasound contrast agents were developed for use in the macrovascular circulation as an adjunct to a colour Doppler ultrasound examination — 'Doppler-rescue'. Although technical developments and the unique behavior of microbubble contrast in the liver have eclipsed the original perceived use, there remains an important role for microbubble contrast in the peripheral vasculature. This review details the applications of microbubble contrast agents in 'Doppler-rescue', with illustrations of important disease processes suitable for examination with microbubble contrast in order to reduce further radiological investigations.

“…Developments in US such as extended field‐of‐view US in combination with power Doppler US and 3D US might bring improvements in the diagnosis of PAOD (17). US contrast agents can produce an increase in Doppler signal intensity, which may lead to a better delineation of iliac arteries as well as collateral vascularity or peripheral small vessels (5, 21). With the development of contrast agents with prolonged enhancement of Doppler signals by extending the stability of microbubbles, vascular diagnosis might even be improved further.…”

Color Doppler us Findings in the Diagnosis of Arterial Occlusive Disease of the Lower Limb

2003

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) of the lower limb is a widely spread disease at the present time. After clinical examination, which includes a comprehensive history of the patient, different imaging modalities are competitive in the exact assessment of PAOD. Besides digital subtraction angiography and MR -angiography, color Doppler US is an established imaging modality in the diagnosis of PAOD. This article illustrates the typical color Doppler US findings in PAOD of the lower limb. Duplex images of normal and pathological findings are presented, and the limitations of the method are pointed out. Color Doppler US examination strategies in patients suffering of PAOD are outlined.
