Abstract

Anatomy of the vessels of the human body, their morphology and haemodynamics are integral elements of vascular medicine. Specifically, a dedicated knowledge of the vessel anatomy is essential for a correct diagnosis and further diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. This article shows the course of the arteries of the lower limb in relation to the bones, their projection to the skin, the positioning of the ultrasound probe and the normal findings in plain ultrasound as parallel images.
