10.16 Data Processing

10.16.1 Receipt of Brachial Ultrasound Materials

Once a tape has three studies the tape will be given to the project coordinator and it will be stored in a cabinet.

Within 24 hours of receipt of the videocassette tape, the scorer will decide on the adequacy of the images and then fax to the study site (i.e., Principal Investigator /Study Coordinator) regarding the results of their evaluation. If the qualifying videocassette tape is technically inadequate, a repeat ultrasound procedure should be performed as soon as possible.
