[A comparative study of color Doppler ultrasound and CT angiography for preoperative evaluation of perforator vessels in free posterior interosseous artery flap].
CDU and CTA accurately identify the dominant perforator vessels and provide reliable information for vessel localization, facilitating precise flap harvesting and minimizing donor site injury. However, CDU offers superior visualization of distal end of perforator vessels in the forearm compared to CTA.
