Dear colleagues, Today we had some discussion on our Department about the PISA-method, one of the tools to measure the severity of mitral regurgitation. We...
Willem, I suspect that you will get a variety of responses on this question. We frequently hear speakers talk about the benefits of PISA, but I find few...
I'll admit I am one of those sceptical ones with regard to PISA. You say it offers the best case scenario for quantitation... so how do I calibrate it? ;-) ...

Since you asked, and I work for Siemens... The CV70 is a newer system then the Aspen. There are still a lot of Aspens around, however, they are no longer...

If you look closely at the QA standards you will see they want a reasonable amount sampled, not all of them. I think a very small percentage just need to be...
Hi Brenda, The ICAEL Standards are geared for all facilities large and small. If the physicians are meeting and discussing the case studies, documentation...
What we do is sit down with at least our medical director and the sonographers. We focus on the both the sonographer technique and protocol. If there are...
We have three reading doctors and two sonographers. We have two forms- one for peer to peer and one assessing the sonographer (exam complete, all views, meas,...

Rick, I couldn't agree with you more; although I'm sure there will be those who boast of their multiple abilities (modalities) echo needs more diligence as ...
I have to disagree. Like anything in life, there are those who can perform better at a wider range of skills than others. Some of the best techs I have seen...
Well, as you said, it really depends upon the volume of the leak. A murmur is really just turbulence that you hear; a tiny jet of insufficiency likely doesn't...
