When performing a vascular assessment on a patient without neuropathy would it be recommended to perform an ABI only? and would you only progress to perform a TBI if media wall calcification is suspected?

I am under the impression that the use of TBI has proven to be more sensitive in determining the presence of peripheral neuropathy?

please excuse the last line of previous post. what i meant to say was

"I am under the impression that the use of TBI has proven to be more sensitive in determining PAD in the presence of peripheral neuropathy?"

You would consider a TBI when you expected artirial calcification, not neuropathy
