ABI correlation in vascular ultrasound evaluates the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) alongside duplex ultrasound findings to diagnose and assess peripheral artery disease (PAD). This integrated approach enhances diagnostic accuracy by combining physiological pressure measurements from the ABI with detailed anatomical and flow information from the ultrasound. It helps pinpoint the location and severity of arterial blockages.
This correlation is vital for effective vascular management, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring disease progression. By integrating ABI and ultrasound, clinicians gain a comprehensive understanding of a patient’s vascular health, crucial for optimizing patient care in medical ultrasound.
