Popis: Tomographic three-dimensional ultrasound using handsfree electromagnetic tracking is an important adjunct to traditional two-dimensional duplex ultrasound examination. This technique allows vascular surgeons to better orientate and visualize the often complex anatomy along the entire length of the target vein. This paper reports a novel technique in preoperative and postoperative acquisition of superficial incompetent veins, thereby providing a comprehensive three-dimensional orientation of different pathological patterns of incompetence.
