AIMS OF THE QUALITY STANDARDS To describe an optimal method of examination in relation to the clinical question and hypothesis. To homogenize practice, methods, glossary, and reporting. To provide good practice reference points, and promote a quality process. ITEMS OF THE QUALITY STANDARDS The 3 levels of examination; their clinical indications and goals. The reference standard examination (level 2), its variants according to clinical needs. The minimal content of the examination report; the letter to the referring physician (synthesis, conclusion and proposal for further investigation and/or therapeutic management). Commented glossary (anatomy, hemodynamics, semiology). Technical bases. Setting and use of ultrasound devices. Here, we discuss ultrasonography methods of using of ultrasonography for the assessment of peripheral vascular malformations and tumors (limbs, face, trunk). https://sonar.ch/global/documents/46519 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1016/j.jdmv.2017.11.004 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/29425539 Journal de medecine vasculaire. - 2018 Duplex-ultrasound Malformations vasculaires Vascular malformation Écho-Doppler Adult Blood Coagulation Disorders Blood Flow Velocity Clinical Competence Disease Progression Eye Neoplasms Female Fibrin Fibrinogen Degradation Products Fibrinogen Hemangioma Hemodynamics Humans Infant Lymphangioma, Cystic Male Quality Assurance, Health Care Ultrasonography, Doppler, Color Ultrasonography, Doppler, Duplex Vascular Malformations Vascular Neoplasms [Quality standards for ultrasonographic assessment of peripheral vascular malformations and vascular tumors.
