The easiest way to visualize the peroneal artery is to locate the paired peroneal veins. The peroneal artery is only a few mm in size so use color flow to help you locate this vessel which typically runs between the veins. Start with a medial approach (like a DVT study) and if the leg is too large try a lateral approach. Color and or power Doppler will help.
How do you scan the veins of the foot in a patient with persistent bilateral swollen feet which did not extend beyond the ankle. She's 18yrs, not diabetic, not hypertensive, not painful, no colouration of the feet/leg but oedematous?
I appreciate this. We also have to remember there are different views possible. Have to rememeber your anatomy

Please do give tips for visualizing the peroneal artery, which is very difficult, whatever approach one uses !
