Abstract

Introduction: Currently, CT angiography (CTA) and Duplex ultrasonography (DUS) arewidely used non-invasive imaging modalities for evaluating PAOD. CTA involves radiationexposure and the use of iodinated contrast. On the other hand, DUS is a safer, widely available, radiation-free technique, but its accuracy may vary. There is a need to evaluatewhether DUS can serve as a reliable
