    Screen Shot of the Evaluation Checklist From the Ultrasound Quality Assurance Website

    The reviewer's simple checklist is on the left with radio buttons to indicate either "yes" for high quality, "no" for poor quality, or "NA" (not applicable). Below, there is room for comments, a drop-down menu for the final evaluation decision, and a checkbox to indicate potential as a teaching case. The images are on the right, with easy-to-navigate scrollable thumbnail images below the selected image.
