Lower limb arterial duplex by voice: velocities, waveforms, stenoses and ABI in Word and PDF
Leg arteries are five segments per leg, each with a velocity and a waveform. Dictate top down on the right leg, then the left; the service fills velocities and waveform toggles and keeps stenoses as text.
Who it is for
Vascular surgeons, sonographers and endocrinologists following claudication, diabetic foot and reconstructions. The package: right and left leg with 13 parameters each, aorta and iliac arteries, notes, 28 fields.

How to pick this exam type
Pick Lower limb arterial ultrasound. Veins have their own package.
How to dictate
Right leg: CFA velocity and waveform, SFA, popliteal, ATA, PTA. Walls, stenoses with percent and location, ABI. Then left and the same. Finish with aorta and iliacs.
What to watch
- Waveform in words: triphasic, biphasic, monophasic. It is a separate field next to the velocity.
- Triphasic at all levels keeps the default waveforms; the service invents no velocities.
- Stenosis with percent and location in one phrase: SFA stenosis in the mid third 60 percent.
- ABI with a decimal, separately for each leg.
What the report will contain
Two leg tables with velocities and waveforms for five segments, walls, stenoses, ABI with its reference range, an aorta section, impression.
Reference ranges are printed for information only: the service does not compare values with norms and does not write a diagnosis. The impression stays yours.
After processing
The result arrives in 20-40 seconds. Any value, label or unit can be corrected in the editor and formulas recalculate. The document opens in Word and PDF, prints from the browser with the patient name typed on the spot, and can be shared with a colleague by link.
Frequently asked questions
Does the service grade stenosis from velocities?
No, the physician states the percent. Velocities are recorded as dictated.
Are there fields for bypasses and stents?
Describe the bypass or stent in the notes field. State patency in words.
Can I dictate the profunda femoris?
There is no separate field; describe it under walls and lumen or add a row in the editor.
How do I report medial calcification?
In words in the walls field: medial calcification of the tibial arteries, and qualify the ABI in the impression.
