  • Title: [Diagnosis of arterial vascular diseases with duplex sonography. Often better than angiography].
    Author: Jansen T, Lawall H, Diehm C.
    Journal: MMW Fortschr Med; 2003 Sep 11; 145(37):45-8. PubMed ID: 14584444.
    Abstract:
    Color-coded duplex ultrasonography has decisively improved the noninvasive diagnostic possibilities in angiology. It is side effect-free, repeatable whenever required and, in experienced hands, can be performed within a reasonable time. In contrast, arterial angiography is a purely diagnostic but invasive procedure with an associated complication rate of 0.5% [25]. Color-coded duplex ultrasonography is an effective and inexpensive diagnostic method. The overall cost of such an examination is about 120 euros [25]; this contrasts with overall costs of 939 euros for MR angiography, and 1297 euros for an intra-arterial angiography.
