Duplicate Vessels

The A-V Fistula , Venous LE, Vein Mapping LE, and Vein Mapping UE worksheets provide functionality to quickly add duplicate veins and arteries for your peripheral vascular exams.

Creating Duplicate Vessels

Adding a duplicate vessel to a Studycast worksheet provides the ability to document the vessel as you would document the original, native vessel. The measurements and observations appearance on the report will mirror that of the native vessel.

To add duplicate vessels:

  1. Click the + Duplicate button, located at the top left of the Veins and Arteries tabs in the worksheet.
  2. In the window that opens, select each vessel which requires a duplicate, and click Submit.
  3. You will now see the newly created duplicate vessel located directly below its counterpart, with Dup added before the vessel label.
If you prefer a different label than Dup for these vessels, or if you would like to move the position to the end of the vessel label (Subclavian Dup, rather than Dup Subclavian), contact Studycast Support

 Not Visualized Vessels

The Venous LE, Arterial LE, and Abdominal Aorta worksheets provide users with an easy method to mark vessels as “not visualized”. This functionality can be used to indicate that a vessel was looked for but was not visualized. 
“Not visualized” should not be used in the same capacity as an “inconclusive” result. Please use the observations drop-down fields to mark vessels “inconclusive”. 
To use this feature, navigate to any of the supported worksheets and find the eye icon, which is located to the right of the vessel label.This icon toggles between two states and will default to an inactive state. 
 
Marking a vessel as “not visualized”:
  1. Click on the inactive eye icon. The icon will now be in an active state. This will clear and lock the entire row of observations (drop-downs) for the vessel.
  2. To see this reflected in your Findings statements, click Generate All Findings. The statements will now reflect that the vessel was not visualized.
  3. In the study report, vessels marked “not visualized” will now appear in the observations and measurements table as N.V. or Not visualized. 
 
To remove a vessel’s status of “not visualized”:
  1. Click on the active eye icon (). It will now be in an inactive state (), and the row of observations will no longer be locked.
  2. To see this reflected in your Findings statements, click Generate All Findings. The statements will no longer reflect that the vessel was marked “not visualized”.
