Objectives: After studying the article entitled “Intra- and Interobserver Reliability and Variability of Femoral Artery Pseudoaneurysm Measurements Between Pre- and Postprocessed B-mode Sonographic Images,” you will be able to:
Define pseudoaneurysm
Understand the importance of accurate measurements of pseudoaneurysm in determining effective treatment options
Evaluate the usefulness of enhancing contrast and segmenting the area of interest to improve the accuracy of measuring pseudoaneurysms
What pattern of flow is seen within a pseudo-aneurysm?
Swirling Laminar Smooth Plug
Spontaneous thrombosis can occur in femoral artery pseudoaneurysms (FAPs) that have a body width less than: 5 cm 7 cm 2 cm 4 cm
According to this article, image quality degradation is affected by a type of granular noise known as: Contrast Enhancement Segmentation Speckle
In this study, FAP neck is measured from: Outer-to-outer wall Inner-to-outer wall Inner-to-inner wall Outer-to-inner wall
An intraclass correlation coefficient of <0.60 is considered: Poor reliability Adequate reliability Good reliability Moderate reliability
In this study, which type of images were used to measure FAP? Color Doppler B-mode M-mode Pulsed Doppler
In this study, which measurement parameter had the highest average reliability and the lowest average variability compared to the original images? Body length Neck width Body width Neck length
