This issue addresses concerns regarding the value and reach of Journal of Vascular Ultrasound, thoracic outlet syndrome, carotid stenosis diagnosis by machine learning possibilities, consistency of common carotid artery velocities and malignant carotid body tumors.

The Quality Improvement and Research Committee of the Society for Vascular Ultrasound has recognized the Journal for Vascular Ultrasound to promote quality improvement, research and scholarly initiatives of the Society. An understanding of the content and character of its published articles and its status amongst journals on vascular ultrasound will be useful to this mandate. This project aims to identify the scope of Journal for Vascular Ultrasound and its implications for the So...

This report presents a case of malignant CBT with systemic metastases, describing the postintervention multimodal imaging findings with a focus on the duplex ultrasound features.

Distal (near bifurcation) common carotid artery (CCA) peak systolic velocity (PSV) values are lower than near the origin (proximal). In this article we investigate whether this applies to patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis = 50% (PSV = 125 cm/s).

The aim of the study was to quantify the influx of patients with POTS, reporting symptoms of arm fatigue with or without numbness and tingling. The symptoms were quantified initially by conducting postural maneuvers that would reproduce the symptoms, to rule-in the possibility of TOS and further confirmed by using ultrasonography in upper limbs as the imaging modality of choice to evaluate arterial and/or venous compression. This study also looks at the presence of aconcurrent dia...

Must read the article to find out about a machine learning algorithm which gave a good approximation of the association between internal carotid artery/common carotid artery peak systolic velocity ratio and % stenosis on a continuous scale for the aggregate data of 4 published studies. These data could be used to study the accuracy of different cut-points for 50% and 70% stenosis in an unbiased fashion.
