We have included
Primary Indication
Tables to provide information that will allow ordering physicians,
nurses and physicians’ assistants to compare patient symptoms and indications of
exams to final results. The indication data tables include percentages of
patients who present with a particular symptom or indication.
Also included are tables that include the
percentages of those exams that were:
-
Positive
for hemodynamically significant disease (>70% stenosis) in Carotid examinations
-
Positive regarding the presence of
atherosclerotic disease in Lower and Upper Extremity Arterial examinations, or
-
Positive regarding the presence of acute
deep vein thrombosis in Lower and Upper Extremity Venous examinations.
Another table we have included is Hours
Until Final Report Signed by M.D. to provide information regarding the
number of hours that it takes our preliminary reports to be read and the final
reports signed by our medical directors.
