Patient preparation involves optimal positioning, reviewing history, and safety precautions. Optimizing ultrasound settings includes selecting appropriate transducer frequency and machine configurations. Imaging planes (sagittal, transverse, coronal, oblique) provide comprehensive fistula assessment. Doppler settings (pulsed wave, continuous wave, color Doppler) enhance blood flow analysis. Measurements (fistula length, diameter, cross-sectional area, outflow volume) quantify fistula parameters. Interpretation…
