Subject:       3D color power angio?

We just receive an upgrade to our ultrasound system which allows us to do 
#D reconstructions with the color power angio feature.  Really neat 
pictures of the vasculature of the liver, kidneys, placenta etc.  Now 
tell me, what do we do with it?  Has anyone heard or read of any 
diagnostic uses of this feature?  

Bill

Dear Bill

We just rec'd 3D CPA a few weeks ago along with a few other sites in 
the northeast quadrant.  Our initial experience even with kidney 
transplants has been limited from a diagnostic standpoint.  We have 
looked at proximity injuries, transplants, TCD, and arterial stents 
and are still fumbling to find a niche.  I have talked to a few folks 
with this upgrade and we all decided to keep each other informed of 
any monumental breakthroughs - IOD is my next 3d cpa frontier.  
Please keep us informed of your results and I will let you know if 
something develops from here.
