Lower limb venous reporting templates

Does anyone out there use diagrams for reporting their lower limb venous incompetence scans? The diagram we currently use tries to show the anterior/posterior leg in the same diagram. As you can imagine it can be very confusing for surgeons to figures out which veins we mean to be anterior or posterior. Does anyone have a good diagram of the lower limb veins? Perhaps a seperate one for the posterior leg? I would be greatful if you could email me a copy to markyoung72@mac.com.

We use diagram reports too, but like yours, they only show the leg in 1 profile.

I generally use annotation and arrows pointing to VV's to say whether they run anterior or posterior etc when the anatomy differs from the norm.

This only works of course if the surgeons actually read anything we write

I also use diagrams for reporting and use dashed lines for posterior and solid lines for anterior veins. So far no confusion that I am aware of!
