Emily: This journal article has some good information and shows the use of different imaging modalities to help diagnose Popliteal Entrapment Syndrome. []

Madeline: This is kind of a gruesome youtube video but I thought it was really interesting and got a better idea of the anatomy around the popliteal artery area. []
