Abstract

Using the examination of any body system, and examiner must be able to detect and assess disease as accurately as possible and then evaluate the status of the remaining function. When studying the vascular system of the upper extremity in particular, physiologic information must be provided in addition to the more commonly investigated structural information. The circulatory system fluctuates to meet the stresses of everyday life. Critical functional data can be provided by a knowledgeable technician in a vascular laboratory with a variety of noninvasive techniques and testing approaches. Not only can the presence and location of vascular disease be determined, but also the subsequent medical or surgical treatment can be facilitated. Even more important, standardized testing protocols can be adapted to fit the individual needs of a patient.
