Ultrasound Accreditation and/or sonographer credentialing requirements are already in effect in many states and soon will be required for reimbursement of exams. Is your ultrasound lab accredited? If not, are the sonographers in your department registered? How is your lab preparing for the upcoming accreditation requirements?
 
 
How would you adjust your ultrasound settings to go about proving this diagnosis? What waveform characteristics would you be aware of in adjacent vasculature?
