Lower Extremities
In medicine, the lower extremity is called the leg. The leg starts at the buttocks and hip and runs through the thigh, knee joint, lower leg, ankle joint to the foot. The leg consists of numerous bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and blood and lymph vessels. All these structures can become conspicuous due to injuries, incorrect strain, inflammations and tumors. Depending on the supposed cause of the symptoms, ultrasound examinations, X-rays, scintigraphies, magnetic resonance tomographies or computer tomographies of individual structures are made (e.g. MR knee joint, X-ray forefoot, CT ankle joint, skeletal scintigraphy with SPECT/CT).

Pelvic-Leg Arteries
Diagnosis of Pelvic and Leg Artery Diseases at Radcare: Advanced Accuracy and Comprehensive Care
The Pelvic and Leg Arteries play a vital role in supplying oxygenated blood to the internal organs in the pelvic area, such as the uterus, prostate, and genital organs, in addition to the muscles in the legs and feet. Any disturbances in these arteries can lead to health complications that affect the quality of life.Common Diseases of the Pelvic and Leg Arteries:
- Arterial Blockage:
- Caused by the accumulation of fatty deposits (atherosclerosis) that block blood flow.
- Peripheral Arterial Disease (pAVK):
- Commonly caused by:
- Diabetes: Long-term effects on small blood vessels.
- Nicotine Use: Causes damage to artery walls and increases blockage risk.
- Injuries: Lead to damage or compression of blood vessels.
- Commonly caused by:
Symptoms Associated with Pelvic and Leg Artery Diseases:
- Pain or cramping in the legs during walking or physical activity.
- Coldness or pallor in the feet or toes.
- Reduced blood flow to the genital organs, which may cause functional issues.
Techniques Used for Diagnosing Arterial Diseases at Radcare:
- Doppler Ultrasound:
- Used to assess blood flow in the arteries and detect any blockages.
- CT Angiography:
- Provides 3D images of the arteries, helping to precisely identify blockages or narrowing.
- MRA (Magnetic Resonance Angiography):
- A radiation-free option for detecting arterial diseases, especially used for patients who cannot tolerate contrast agents.
The Importance of Early Diagnosis:
- Prevention of Complications:
- Such as gangrene or limb amputation in advanced cases.
- Improvement of Therapeutic Outcomes:
- Through immediate initiation of treatment, whether medical or surgical.
- Reduction of Pain and Enhanced Mobility:
- By improving blood flow and restoring arterial function.
