I agree completely with Jack and this is how I work in Australia with the various Cardiology practices. The sonographers produce the preliminary report and the...
What a great response. I also agree with this. We do a complete draft report off of our digital reporting system and the physician reviews the images and...

Dear Members, I am a physician practicing Cardiology in India. I am migrating to Canada as an Echocardiographer as a tech. Can you guide me what is the scope...
Thanks for your input, Dr. Colman. Yours is the approach that many of us really hope to see. In addition, I hope to get feedback and from my cardiologists...
There is a difference of preliminary report versus worksheet. I feel it a sonographer's duty to give the interpreter a worksheet with as much information and...
Valsalva, or any preload reducing maneuver (including administering nitroglycerine) will reduce trans-mitral flow velocities overall. In someone with normal...

Excuse my ignorance. At what age is it determined that a patient is pediatric and not adolescent vs adult. Or is it body size or Height and Weight. The law...

I guess my question was too vague. I understand the diastolic function properties that you discussed. I guess what I am asking is if my cardiologists are not...
In most labs, newborn through 18 are considered pediatric patients. We use a separate protocol to do those. Also, only specially trained techs are allowed to...
P.S. Also does valsalva on a patient whom has e/a reverasal on mitral inflow tell me anything? ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only...
I wish to inform you that in Greece the only one able to practice a Echo is the cardiologist and nobody else. The figure of the sinographer does not exist, at...
Hi Sean, Sorry to have misunderstood. I see your point now and I agree. While there is no such thing in echocardiography as too much information, in a...

Sorry I didn't see your postscript until after my last dissertation. Reducing preload in a patient with E/A reversal should not yield any additional...

I agree with this also, however, not everyone is as respectable about this. At our hospital, we filled out a preliminary report for the cardiologist which they...
Once again this list comes through with some great personal experiences and thoughts about challenges we all face throughout a typical day. Thanks for sharing...

Hi Group Does anyone know how reliable the shunt calculation is when using the peak velocity instead of the VTI? I ask because the VTI method does not appear...
Dear Justin, VTI is always better for most things (stroke output, cardiac output, continuity area, etc). Thus, for shunt calculations it is a good idea to use...
I have several examples that I would like to share with the group. I feel that these examples illustrate the real clinical value of assessing the LV inflow...
I was wondering if anyone is using a wirless ethernet bridge to connect a Philips 5500 to there hospital network for transmiting echo images wireless, if so...
See if your institution is on the newest 802.11G standard. If you are the only department using the band it will transmit 54 mbps. This is like a fast dial...
Dear sirs, Hi, I am a medical engineer espesialist on Siemens , Aquson Ultrasounds and echocardiography machines by passing many trainning course in germany...
Chris, 54 mbps is 1000x faster than a fast dial up. 20x faster than a T1 line and 5 times faster than a 10mbps LAN network. Most hospitals will run a 100mbps...
Anyone know an average file size for various digital studies i.e. 2d, stress, tee etc. Grouped averages or any stats would help. We are purchasing storage...
That's correct, Rich. People often get confused between baud and bits per second (they're not the same, but close), and modems are now rated for kilobytes as...
File sizes depend on the obvious - system being used, number of cycles, number of clips I store on a GE Vivid5, 1 cycle and about 20 clips giving a file of...
