[Role of duplex Doppler for superficial "angiomas"]

Abstract

Diagnosis of superficial vascular anomalies, previously called "angiomas", is basically clinical. Ultrasound and duplex Doppler imaging is a simple and helpful tool to confirm the clinical diagnosis and/or to suggest further required imaging modalities. The purpose of this work is to demonstrate the usefulness of duplex Doppler and ultrasound for exploring vessel and soft tissue components of vascular anomalies.
