Abstract

Introduction: Peripheral vascular disease is a leading global source of morbidity. According to epidemiological research, up to 5% of males and 2.5% of women who are 60 years or older may experience intermittent claudication. The purpose of the effort is to assess color-coded Doppler and multi-detector row CT angiography as less intrusive methods for evaluating patients with lower limb artery disease. The outcomes will be contrasted with digital subtraction angiography, the industry-recognized gold standard method Patients & approaches: 50 individuals with probable lower extremity artery disease participated in this investigation. It will be done in the radiology division of Cairo's Al- Hussein University Hospital Patients accepted with suspected lower extremity arterial disease varied in age from 21 to 70 years old and included both sexes. Exclusion Criteria: Patients with renal impairment, those with acute limb ischemia, those who have had portions of their lower limbs amputated, etc. or those who are allergic to contrast agents. Patients with uncontrolled seizures, breastfeeding mothers, pregnant women, and those with mental illness have also been excluded Results: For MSCT, the average difference between Doppler and multidetector CT angiography was 3.3%. Multidetector CT angiography and Doppler revealed a mean difference of 7.3%. Conclusion: MDCT angiography exhibits better sensitivity (95.7%) than the use of Doppler ultrasound for diagnosing lower-extremity arterial disorders when conventional angiography is used as the gold standard.
