Detailed explanation-1: -Segmental limb pressures are measured by combining Doppler ultrasound with blood pressure measurements at various locations in the arms and legs. By detecting differences in blood pressure at specific locations in different limbs, this test helps to diagnose arterial blockages and other circulation problems.

Detailed explanation-2: -Blood flow is evaluated with an ultrasound Doppler flow detector. Arterial pressures in the lower extremities are compared to the pressures measured in the arms. These tests are usually referred to as segmental pressure measurements and pulse volume recording (PVR).

Detailed explanation-3: -PVR, also known as a segmental pressure study, is a non-invasive vascular test involving use of blood pressure cuffs on your thighs, calves and ankles, and also on your arms. The cuffs are inflated to compare the blood pressure in your legs to that of your arms.
