Carotid stenosis — velocity criteria?

Per SRU (Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound, 2003), stenosis 230 cm/s. Confirm with ICA/CCA ratio and residual diameter.

DVT — when to repeat a negative study?

With high clinical probability and negative US, consider repeat in 5–7 days or CT angiography. With low probability and negative D-dimer, DVT is generally excluded without repeat.

Superficial venous reflux — threshold?

Reflux time > 0.5 s in superficial veins (GSV/SSV, tributaries) and > 1.0 s in deep veins, with Valsalva or distal compression.

When to use

Vascular Doppler evaluates patency, direction and velocity of arterial and venous flow. Indicated for suspected DVT, venous insufficiency, peripheral arterial disease, carotid stenosis and post-revascularization follow-up.

What to evaluate

Segmental venous compressibility (DVT — loss of compressibility).
Venous waveform: respiratory phasicity, distal augmentation.
Arterial spectral Doppler: morphology, peak systolic, indices.
Venous reflux > 0.5 s (superficial) or > 1.0 s (deep).
Stenoses: velocity ratio, jet and plaque morphology.

- Rins: tópicos, de dimensões normais (RD = cm; RE = cm). Espessura e ecogenicidade parenquimatosas preservadas. Ausência de hidronefrose ou cálculos detectáveis ao método. - Artérias renais: pérvias, com padrão espectral e velocidades preservados nos segmentos acessíveis. Velocidades de pico sistólico máximo: cm/s à direita e cm/s à esquerda. Relações velocidades de pico sistólico da aorta / artéria renais: dentro dos limites da normalidade. - Artérias intrarrenais (segmentares): com padrões espectrais habituais (índices de resistividade preservados). Conclusão: - Ultrassonografia com Doppler dos rins e artérias renais dentro dos parâmetros da normalidade.
