Abstract
A one year clinical activity of instrumental angiological diagnostics (doppler c.w. examinations) was evaluated and analysed. 970 outpatient continuous wave doppler have been performed: 37% examinations of epiaortic vessels (TSA), 31% examinations of lower limb veins, 28% examinations of lower limbs arteries. The question has been inappropriate (normal exam) in 81% of TSA, in 67% of AIA and in 52% of AIV. The authors think that the reasons for these results are a large misinformation from the physicians postulant and a consequent abuse of the instrumental method. It's therefore necessary to put a clinical filter to regulate the access to the instrumental (high technological) examinations, too often unnecessary.
TL;DRThe authors think that it's necessary to put a clinical filter to regulate the access to the instrumental examinations, too often unnecessary. (Semantic Scholar)
