Practice Expense Inputs for Digital Imaging Services Survey

The Society for Vascular Ultrasound (SVU) needs your assistance with determining the extent to which a professional picture archiving and communication system (PACS) workstation (ED053) is used when furnishing the services associated with several ultrasound codes, which are described below
