Neck veins ultrasound (US) examination has reached a relevant level of attention due to the definition of Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI) and due to various studies on different neurological disorders. Echo-Color Doppler (ECD) technology is a reliable diagnostic technique for Internal Jugular Vein (IJV) and Vertebral Vein (VV) examination. The present study considers the combination of different real-time US imaging and Doppler methods as well as a proper ultrasonic transducer design for the optimization of cervical vein scanning. Increased B-Mode diagnostic confidence and more sensitive and reliable hemodynamic analysis of the cervical venous system are shown and analyzed.
