Clinical References:

Doppler ultrasound is probably the most widely used method for diagnosing vascular disease in the diabetic foot (Vowden, 1999; Leoniuk et al, 2014)

The Minidop has been used in clinical studies, for example Prajapati et al, 2016 calculated the ankle brachial index (ABI) for the assessment of vasculopathy using the Minidop.
