Abstract
Aims & Objectives: To evaluate clinically suspected cases of peripheral arterial diseases of lower limbs by Duplex Color Doppler.
Results: Color Duplex USG shows high sensitivity (92%) and specificity (96%) for diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease.
Conclusion: Duplex Color Doppler Sonography can be used for evaluation of elderly people with risk factors of peripheral artery disease such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia and hypertension.
Keywords: stenosis, peripheral vascular insufficiency, pulsatility index.
