Carotid duplex study question - SM
Subject: Carotid duplex study question - SM
I type these regularly, but happen to be doing one of our very worst dictators who mumbles and is dictating in the bottom of a well. :::sigh::: He is saying:
"No visual s/l FLOW-VUM, any areas of stenosis, or s/l FUNGATING PLAQUES are noted."
Can anyone help a sista out?

On the right side, the velocities are mildly to moderately increased all the way to the knee with the highest velocities registered in the external iliac artery (198 cm/second during systole), common femoral artery (207), proximal superficial femoral artery (278), and s/l distal superficial artery (173 cm per second).
Need help with the s/l distal superficial artery, the closest thing I came up with would be dorsalis.
