Alex Powell

@drmcumming Agreed I see nothing in the artery at that level. However I am wondering maybe something would be seen at a slightly different level. More importantly if in fact this is venous (and to educate the rest of us) what historical factors made you think venous rather than arterial.

@rAlexPowellMD If you look at the IVUS you can see the artery and there is no change in caliber with maneuvers. And the symptoms are more consistent with venous claudication.

Young athlete with exertional calf pain. Initial response to fasciotomies but recurrent excruciating calf pain with exercise. IVUS imaging in the mid-popliteal vein during active plantar flexion.

@KyleCooperMD @ABR_Radiology Kyle-somehow we are in delay mode on the replies. You are right-I got the fees mixed up and I agree with your assessment.

@rAlexPowellMD @ABR_Radiology Sorry Alex I never saw a notification on this message, weird. I would say no, it wouldn’t be worth that much. However the ABR MOC fees are only $340 a year. I think that is a fair price, personally. Are you thinking about the SIR dues? I think those are a bit steep at $950…

To all the complainers about @ABR_Radiology OLA questions… serious question: would you prefer to go back to an ACTUAL TEST every 5-10 years? I do these two questions every Monday morning while enjoying my coffee, read the explanations, and go about my day. #irad #MedTwitter
