Waveforms

The use of a Multi Dopplex allows waveforms to be viewed on a computer or printed. The attached videos demonstrate triphasic, biphasic or monophasic arterial pulses. The waveform is more accurate than the ABI. The ABI can be affected by calcification of the arteries which is more evident in patients with diabetes who may have a falsely elevated ABI.
