"I faced this decision 8 years ago. People with an ARDMS registry can be demeaning about the issue. My experience has been wonderful with CCI, as I registered in echo and vascular. The difference is that CCI is…"
Richard G. Barr replied to Laura Burke's discussion Using Elastography to differentiate between acute and chronic DVT. in the group Cardiovascular Ultrasound Community
"Presently there is no protocol for using elastography to differentiate acute from chronic DVT. Preliminary work (Rubin JUM 22:443-448, 2003 and Rubin 25:1179-1186,2006) suggest that it is possible. The preliminary work does show that…"

"still the software is not accessible for every one ...but its an interesting idea..to use elastography in DVT studies"

Using Elastography to differentiate between acute and chronic DVT.
Has anyone tried this? I read an article on this and it does seem plausible and the general patient. Just wondering if anyone else has any experience in it. Thanks.See More

Laura Burke replied to Karin Sorge BS, RDMS, RVT's discussion RUQ sonography in the group Sonography Community
"I agree with Salavatore, we look at the pancreas, liver, gb, rt.kidney, and ducts when ruq is ordered. I was trained that you must assess the echogenicity of the liver compared to the rt. kidney."

Looking for opinions on credentialling for vascular from CCI or ARDMS, is one better than the other?
I am wanting to get my credentials in vascular sonography and am trying to decide between taking the CCI RVS board or the ARDMS RVT board. For CCI it is one test incorporating both the physics and the vasc. tech. and for ARDMS it means taking the physics SPI test and the vasc. tech test. (since I was credentialled 12 years ago and only took my general physics at that time) I have heard that CCI is much more straight forward. Does anyone have an opinion as to the difference or benefits between…See More

Help deciding between taking the CCI boards for vascular or the ARDMS.
I am interested in anyones opinion as to if there is a difference between the CCI boards or the ARDMS boards for vascular credentialing. I am credentialled with ARDMS for Abd/sm. pts., Ob/gyn, and Breast and am now wanting to get my vascular but would have to take the Physics registry again for it since I took it so long ago as well as the Vascular Tech. The CCI is 1 test instead of 2 but from what I have been told covers both and is a very thorough test. If anyone has an opinion I would…See More
