# Talk:Ultrasonography of chronic venous insufficiency of the legs

This is sometimes hard to understand. What do you mean by heart study? Do you mean ultrasound of the heart or something else? Also "in most medical subjects" do you mean patients? Consider: The use of ultrasound to image veins is not straightforward. 

Like for the heart study, when applied to veins, the ultrasonography requires a basic knowledge and a deep understanding of hemodynamics. In fact, if the ultrasonography is related to the image study, in most of medical subjects, its usage on veins study is not straightforward.
Instead of

There is a very close relationship with hemodynamic, the only way to understand veins and to give a high quality and a useful examination report, forcing to a deep understanding and training on it.[3] In fact, the examiner knowledge and training are more important than the equipment itself. 

Consider: In order to give useful information, the examiner needs a good knowledge of hemodynamics. In fact, the examiner knowledge and training may be more important than the equipment itself. 

(Comment: this doesn't make sense to me. The implication is that an examiner without ultrasound is still capable of giving similar results...Also hemodynamics could do with explanation in brakets or a wikilink)

Instead of

The fact that specialized training centers are yet missing in some countries, makes difficult the proper usage of this technique.[4]
Consider: Specialized training in venous ultrasonography is not present in some countries.
Instead of

The lower limbs venous ultrasonography is a safe examination, there is no exposure to radiation, can be used at any age, doesn't need preparation (except for abdominal veins where the patient must be fasting since 12 hours), it has a sensitivity and specificity around 90% and even if the material is expensive, the examination isn't, because the same machine can be used in a large variety of examinations. This technique became the first choice to diagnosis confirmation in venous pathology.
Consider: Lower limbs venous ultrasonogrphay is a safe examination. There is no exposure to ionizing radiation and it can be used for people of any age. There is not usually any preparation required, except for abdominal veins which requires twelve hours fasting beforehand.

(Comment: abdominal veins are not in lower limbs...this para begins by specifying lower limbs...is prep ever needed for lower limbs? Is article discussing ultrasound of veins generally or just lower limbs? In which case, consider: "There is no exposure to ionizing radiation, it can be used for people of any age and there is no preparation required.")
Consider:
The sensitivity and specificity is around 90%. Although the equipment is costly, the examinations themselves are inexpensive.

(comment: sensitivity and specificity may benefit with wikilinks)
Instead of

In chronic venous insufficiency, the importance of this examination is not only to confirm the varicose disease but, as an hemodynamic examination and taking in consideration the actual progress in vein diseases and its treatment, it needs to give special indications to the surgeon about the possibility to restore the correct blood flow from the superficial to the deep venous system.
Consider: In chronic venous insufficiency, the importance of this examination is to confirm the varicose disease, allow assessment of hemodynamics, to chart the progression of the disease over time and the response to treatment.
Instead of:

This means that the detection of competent perforator veins is so important as the detection of the incompetent ones.
Consider: The detection of competent perforator veins may be as important as the detection of incompetent ones. 

{comment: perforator veins maybe wikilink)
The draw of a mapping[nb 1] is essential to the full understanding of what is happening with the patient veins. On this map the vascular surgeon can be able to mark the points he must treat. Is the so-called virtual dissection
Consider: Mapping of the venous system is essential to aid understanding of the condition in any individual. This map enables vascular surgeons to plan interventions, a stage known as virtual dissection.

Thanks for help I will revue all these points Doc Elisa ✉ 21:15, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

No problem. I can look again once you are happy with the rest of the article. I just wish I knew enough of another language to write an article. Often it is good to write the lead in a clear and simple style, see WP:LEAD. Lesion (talk) 23:05, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
I'm very happy with the way you all work at en:WP and how you help newcomers. Unfortunately my English needs to be improved. This article is extremely important mainly if it can reach a level to be part of Translation Task Force. I'll try to do it. Doc Elisa ✉ 13:53, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

The Apr 2019 version of this article was submitted to the WikiJournal of Medicine. It was peer reviewed by two external academics in the field. Their reports point to several suggestions that may improve the Wikipedia article.
At the moment, no further work on the article is taking place at the WikiJournal. I am posting this notice in the hope that the reports may be used for directly improving the Wikipedia article. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)talk 21:16, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
