Abstract
Vascular ultrasound (VU) plays a significant role in visual depiction of arteries and veins. The procedure has, over the last two decades, undergone considerable upgrades in technology, approach, and utility to diagnose various vascular-related disorders in both major and minor vessels and determine management options for those conditions. In the case of arteries, VU gives information ranging from endothelial dysfunction over measuring the increase of intima media thickness to the detection of stenoses, occlusion, or aneurysm. In case of veins, VU helps to delineate anatomy of the desired structure and aid in the placement of both central and certain peripheral veins. VU also helps to assess major vascular structures such as aorta and inferior vena cava to determine hemodynamic status and to monitor appropriate interventions such as fluid therapy.
