Abstract
Evaluation of vascular disorders of the upper extremity requires an anatomic and functional approach. The combination of a good history and physical examination, laboratory testing, and specialized vascular laboratory studies will help detect any underlying collagen vascular disease or coagulopathy and provide physiologic-specific and patient-oriented management. This paper reviews the currently available noninvasive modalities for the evaluation of upper-extremity perfusion.
