MeasureTime frame
Ultrasonography is applied to measure flow velocities in the popliteal vein. We will measure both peak flow and mean flow.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secundary study outcomes are popliteal flow velocity (cm/s), cross-sectional area of the popliteal vein (cm2), and blood volume flow (ml/s).
