 SVT: Local Medical Review Policies
As you know, SVT was founded in 1977, is one of the oldest professional societies for vascular technologists and sonographers, and is the only professional organization completely dedicated to the advancement of non-invasive vascular technology in the diagnosis of vascular disease.
At this point, given the development of the credentialing mechanisms, the recent (and quite appropriate) attention focused on medical errors, and the disturbing evidence of sub-standard care provided by non-credentialed personnel (see enclosed tape), we believe very strongly that proof of a minimum level of competency is absolutely essential.
In the second paragraph, second sentence, SVT disagrees with the statement that requires that a patient "have a pulsatile mass indicating a pseudoaneurysm" and be "at least three days status-post invasive vascular procedure" in order for the provider to be reimbursed for ultrasonography under that scenario.

 American Medical Massage Association Article
There does exist in both the medical and massage field a lot of confusion regarding pressure points, trigger points, tender points, fibromyalgia sites and neuro lympathic points, as well as, many other types of points as named by various physicians and therapists over the years, all claiming to be different kinds of points.
Medical physicians, who are not trained medical massage or medical manual therapists, and who lack the thousands of hours of soft tissue palpation and therapy skills of the manual therapist, in other words the highly educated touch that massage therapists master, seek to develop expensive diagnostic and treatment procedures.
Medical physicians do not earn their living by providing massage therapy, but by ordering or conducting tests, by delivering injection procedures, or prescribing medications.

 Drug therapy may be comparable to invasive cardiac procedures for elderly patients with heart attack   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Although the type and intensity of treatment for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) [heart attack] varies widely across the country, elderly patients who receive intensive medical treatment may have comparable survival as those who undergo invasive cardiac procedures (such as angioplasty and bypass surgery), according to a study in the March 16 issue of JAMA.
The researchers examined the intensity of invasive management (measured as whether the patients received a cardiac catheterization within 30 days), and medical management (measured by prescription of beta-blockers to appropriate patients at discharge from hospital).

With each successive generation of these various modalities precision and increased image resolution have enabled physicians and diagnosticians to be more effective in their respective tasks.
In most cases the frequencies must be highly accurate (non-standard) and higher in frequency (>200MHz) than oscillators deployed in traditional time/frequency applications such as telecommunications where 10Mhz oscillator are the accepted standard.
PTI’s focus for these types of medical applications addresses requirements for long-term guaranteed frequency stability and low aging and industry leading low SSB phase noise to cite just a few of the more important device electrical performance requirements demanded by these applications.
