Question:

Physician is stating "bilateral lower extremity angiogram with runoff performed" and "additional images of fem-pop and tibioperoneal vessels were obtained". I know about the catheter placed in the aorta for runoff, but don't I need dictation stating which vessels he placed catheter in for fem-pop and tibioperoneal to obtain those additional images? Or is that statement enough?
