A consensus among Diagnostic Imaging specialists and vascular surgeonson a protocol for carrying out Doppler studies for lower limb venous insufficiency is presented. This includes an agreement on the pathophysiology of the disease, the nomenclature and vessel diameters that make up the different venous systems, as well as the Doppler parameters to be used in the for reporting the studies. A meeting was held with 6 vascular surgeons and 10 imaging specialists in which these different items were discussed. Two Doppler studies of the lower limbs were performed during this meeting as an example, and a draft document was prepared on the points agreed.
