SUBMIT YOUR ANSWERS TO: musccathlab@gmail.com
A: just below the knee                    B:mid calf                        C: Foot            

Some of the arteries are labelled more than once on the images above. HINT: this is a left leg angiogram

Questions:
If the patient is complaining of pain or a non-healing ulcer in the right foot which side of the groin would you prep for the procedure?

If you were palpating a patient's pulses, which artery are you feeling on the medial aspect of the ankle posterior to the medial malleolus? Which artery are you feeling on the dorsal (top) surface of the foot?

If you were doing a step down perivision runoff in room 11, what settings would you use on the MedRad to visualize arteries all the way down to the toes?
