AB When  there  is  a  need  to  supplement  the  physical  examination,  continuous  wave  Doppler  (CWD)  was  the  test  modality  most  often  available  to  the  clinician  until  compact,  affordable  Duplex  units  became  readily  available.  The  CWD  examination  was  considered  as  an  essential  part  of  every  physical  examination  of  the  venous  system  and  the  handheld  Doppler  was  considered  to  be  the  “stethoscope”  of  the  phlebologist.  Although  largely  replaced  by  Duplex  ultrasound,  a  basic  understanding  of  use  of  the  stethoscope  of  phlebology  is  still  important.
