When symptoms suggestive of<unk>  artery disease are present, clinical evaluation along with non invasive testing are enough to establish the diagnosis. Invasive diagnostic studies are anatomic studies that are not used for diagnosis but rather for preoperative evaluation of the anatomy of the vessels. The non invasive modality mostly used in the diagnosis of<unk>  artery disease is the measurement of the ankle brachial index (ABI) at rest and after exercise testing. The non invasive diagnostic studies are functional studies and they include the following: measurement of ABI at rest and after exercise, pulse volume recording, transcutaneous oxygen pressure measurement and laser doppler fluximetry. The invasive diagnostic studies are anatomic studies and they include the following: conventional angiography, CT angiography, MRA and duplex ultrasound.
