Abstract
The circulation in the lower limbs of 50 patients with vascular disease was assessed transcutaneously with a commercially available ultrasonic flow detector. In 66 limbs, the results were compared with arteriograms. The findings were entirely correct in 57 limbs, and in every limb a reliable indication of the adequacy of the blood supply was obtained.
