Figure 3. (a) Baseline unenhanced colour and spectral Doppler ultrasound examination of a patient right lower limb. Insufficient information for a firm conclusion about patency of the anterior tibial artery. (b) Following the administration of 2.4 ml of SonoVue, clear depiction of a patent anterior tibial artery is seen (long arrow) with a large collateral artery seen in a superior position (short arrow). (c) Spectral Doppler contrast ultrasound confirms a monophasic abnormal arterial trace. (d) Corresponding arteriogram confirms the patent anterior tibial artery (long arrow) and the collateral artery (short arrow). Collateral arteries have formed around an occluded popliteal artery.
