Is Assessment of Popliteal Artery Diameter in Patients Undergoing Screening
for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms a Worthwhile Procedure
G. Morris-Stiff, M. Haynes, S. Ogunbiyi, E. Townsend, S. Shetty, R.K.
Winter and M.H. Lewis
Vol 30 (I) July 2005, 71-74
This group
concluded if a definition of popliteal aneurysm of = 1cm is used, then
4.3% of popliteal arteries assessed during aortic aneurysm screening
may require further surveillance.
ABSTRACT
Techniques for a Successful Full-length Peroneal Artery Sonographic Visualization
S. Luján and E. Puras
Vol 30 (I) July 2005, 111
Suggests
that a lateral approach to scanning the peroneal artery maybe superior
to a medial approach, although for optimum views both approaches should
be used.

Compliance of abdominal aortic aneurysms evaluated by tissue Doppler imaging:
Correlation with aneurysm size

MDd, Dikran Mouradian MDd and Marc Sapoval MD, PhDa
Vol 42(I) July 2005, 18-26
This study
found changes in AAA dispensability appear when the AAA measures around
45 mm in diameter, but a larger study will be needed to clarify this.

The inaccuracy of simple visual interpretation for measurement of carotid
stenosis by arteriography
Zachary C. Schmittling MD, Robert B. McLafferty MD, Jeffrey S. Danetz MD,
Syed M. Hussain MD, Don E. Ramsey MD and Kim J. Hodgson MD
Vol 42 (I) July 2005, 62-66
Compared with a method of objective measurement, this group found visual
interpretation of angiograms overestimated most carotid artery stenoses.

Normal reference intervals and ranges of side-to-side and day-to-day variability
of ocular blood flow Doppler parameters
Andrzej Ustymowicz?, Zofia Mariak†, John Weigele‡, Tomasz Lyson§,
Jan Kochanowicz§ and Jaroslaw Krejza?,
Vol 31(7) July 2005, 895-903
This group
determined that ocular blood flow Doppler parameters range widely and
are significantly age and sex dependent. Ranges of “normal” side-to-side
and day-to-day variability of the parameters can help to determine abnormal
flow pattern

In principle,
this study concludes accurate investigations are feasible, even without
the support of an imaging system.
