Extracranial Doppler examinations are measurements of blood flow velocities in the extracranial vessels, and particularly the Common, External, and Internal Carotid arteries, as well as the Subclavian artery. (medtechedge.com)
Two Doppler waveforms can be obtained in the foot, the posterior tibial and dorsalis pedis arteries, with the distal peroneal artery able to be detected in the distal leg, behind the lateral malleolus [ 10 ] (Fig 3 ), and the anterior tibial artery can be located at the anterior aspect of the ankle at the distal medial border of the tibia [ 10 ].
