If you are ICAVL accredited lab, you need to use the standards. Even if you are not accredited for Visceral, I highly recommend utilizing the standards anyways.
http://intersocietal.org/vascular/standards/IACVascularTestingStandardsAug2015.pdf
Page 50 is the mesenteric protocol/standard documentation that is required. Of course, you can always take more images--for instance, I take mid and distal SMA velocity measurements as well as the splenic artery.
Hope this helps.
