Use of Continuous Wave Doppler to assess Vascular Malformations in Pediatric Dermatology

Status: Recruiting

The aim of our study is to look at blood flow in various tumors and irregularities located in blood vessels using a handheld continuous wave doppler. Correct and efficient diagnosis of vascular anomalies (outside of what is expected to happen in blood vessels) in pediatric patients will help determine a treatment plan. Blood flow in vascular anomalies has not been well described in the past.

I'm interested
