(1). Digital Plethysmograph - Plethysmograph is a measuring instrument for measuring changes in volume (usually resulting from fluctuations in the amount of blood in the toe). This device is applied to a digit of the foot to measure skin blood flow
(2). Duplex Ultrasound Arteriograh - A duplex ultrasound is a test to see how blood moves through your arteries and veins. The test combines traditional ultrasound with Doppler Ultrasonography. Regular ultrasound uses sound waves that bounce off blood vessels to create pictures. Doppler ultrasound records sound waves reflecting off moving objects, such as blood, to measure their speed and other aspects of how they flow in the ankle as compared to the arm.
(3). Venous Reflux Examination - A noninvasive test that is used to test the valves in the veins
