SVU’s Position on the Performance and Reporting of Screening Examinations

The Society for Vascular Ultrasound (SVU) is concerned that there is a lack of standardization regarding the performance and reporting of vascular disease screening services. As the SVU believes that appropriate credentialing (certification) of vascular technologists and accreditation of vascular testing facilities serves to protect the public health, and that public awareness and education are an integral component of the screening process, the SVU Board of Directors has approved the following position statement, with documentation supporting the position following the Summary of Position.
