3. Body of the report.
4. Impression (conclusion or diagnosis

cardiology is used. Vascular software programs
understand the needs of the medical staff that
prepare and read these reports and are quite
intuitive.
• Vascular sonography reports will indicate valuable
information about the results of the ultrasonic
ultrasound and might include diagrams of the veins
and arteries to help determine and measure items
