I am doing an echo and the doc is speeding through the M-mode data.  It sounds like he is saying "septal posterior wall thickness is 7 mm."   Is this correct or is it "septal and posterior wall thickness"?  I find it several different ways on Google and not sure what is correct. 


Also, if anyone knows a good echo site, please feel free to share!


Thanks!

I have done a lot of QA over the years, and lately MTs are using a comma before the word "with" throughout the entire report as if with was equal to "which."  I have looked through and BOS, but I cannot find a general rule on this.  Does anyone have any solid information on this?  It would be very much appreciated.
