Ultrasound of vessels
The condition of the vascular wall (calcification) as well as the vascular diameter (constrictions, aneurysms) can be depicted with an ultrasound. The colour Doppler sonography measures the blood flow speed. Vascular constrictions (stenoses) or occlusions of the carotid artery or abdominal aorta can thereby be depicted in a non-invasive manner.
