Investigating the early diagnostic value of popliteal artery wall shear stress in lower extremity arterial disease in type 2 diabetes patients using color Doppler ultrasound combined with WSS quantitative analysis

Non-invasive WSS measurement using DUS provides a valuable diagnostic tool for early LEAD detection in T2DM patients. Reduced WSS in the popliteal artery is a predictive marker of disease onset, offering potential for earlier intervention and better management of LEAD, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
