color flow imaging

1-use linear array probe 5 - 7.5 mhz.
2-patient supine with slight abduction of the thigh 10-15 degree.
3-gel applied from groin to adductor canal.
4-first,imaging done in transverse plane to identify femoral vein(medial) and artery(lateral).
5-spectral doppler analysis of both vessels.
artery--->triphasic wave form.
vein --->monophasic wave form.
6-examine external iliac vein using spectral wave form by one or the two following
a - normally , it is monophasic wave form with increase with expiration and decrease with inspiration.
-absence of this variation means----->proximal thrombosis or
----->proximal compression of the vein.
b-by valsalva maneuver.
7-by this point,imaging will be done by longitudinal scan.
8-examination of--->common femoral vein.
--->superficial femoral vein.
--->profunda femoris vein.
we can increase doppler flow by--->compression technique
and by--->by power doppler imaging.
8-turn patient in lateral decubitus with knee flexed by 20-25 degrees.
9-popliteal vein is seen anterior to popliteal artery.
10-examine popliteal vein up to adductor canal and inferiorly to tibio-peroneal trunk.
11-diagnostic criteria
*sponteneous flow:
present in patent vessel
not present in thrombotic vessel.
*intraluminal reflective material:
not present in patent vessel.
present in thrombotic vessel.
*response to distal augmentation:
present in patent vessel.
not present in thrombotic vessel.
*response to probe compression:
present in patent vessel.
not present in thrombotic vessel.
*venous dilatation:
not present in patent vessel.
present in thrombotic vessel.
*spectral wave form:
present,phasic in patent vessel.
not present in thrombotic vessel.

iliac assessment:
spectral variation is seen in patent vessel.
not seen in thrombotic vessel.
response to valsalva maneuver is seen in healthy vein
not present in thrombotic vessel.

  1. I was suffering from a severe headache and even the potent pain killers only gave me slide relief. I went for a CT Scan plus MRI and doctors found a ‘blood clot’ in the brain. Neurosurgery was suggested and had a stroke while going through angiogram. My life was miserable until Dr Itua herbal made medicine was introduced to me. I took Dr Itua Herbal Made Capsule Plus 3 times daily and within 20 days I saw big relief from the pain and within a few weeks I was able to walk and gain back my mobility. The following MRI confirmed the ‘blood clot’ had disappeared and the doctors were very surprised and said it was a ‘miracle’. Now, I am doing Cardio  2 times a week.You can contact Dr Itua herbal center on drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com his herbal made also cure Herpes Virus,HPV,ALS,MS,Hepatitis,Diabetes,HIV,Cancer,Parkinson and so many other diseases humans can have.
