Abstract

The aim of this article is to review the spectrum of image-based diagnostic tools used in the diagnosis of suspected peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The imaging modalities reviewed include angiography, computed tomography, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance and their modifications. This article contains descriptions, as well as the advantages and drawbacks of all these methods. We based our knowledge on publications and the experience we gained from our clinic.
