This 2½-day
advanced course on vascular ultrasound interpretation is designed
to provide you with the necessary information to interpret vascular
studies.
A thorough understanding of the concepts of vascular diagnostic testing
and diagnostic criteria is required before you can interpret vascular
studies. The Course faculty, who all are experts in the field of
vascular ultrasound, will assist you in understanding these concepts
and diagnostic criteria. As the role of the vascular laboratory
continues to expand, reliability and accuracy is dependent on informed
technologists and physicians performing and interpreting vascular
studies.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Physicians and vascular technologists/
sonographers who are working in the vascular
ultrasound field and want to update and enhance
their knowledge of interpretation of vascular
ultrasound studies:
- Physicians (vascular surgeons, cardiologists, radiologists,
neurologists…) seeking to gain or improve their overall
knowledge and skills in noninvasive vascular diagnosis
- Vascular technologists/sonographers who are seeking to further
their understanding of the technical and interpretative aspects
of vascular testing
- Any physicians and vascular technologists/sonographers seeking
to gain greater knowledge of the clinical perspectives underlying
test performance
- Any physicians and vascular technologists/sonographers who require
continuing medical education in vascular technology to maintain
either laboratory accreditation or individual credentials.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course, attendees should be able to:
- Assess the role and relevance of noninvasive testing in the
diagnosis and treatment of vascular disease
- Evaluate chronic venous insufficiency using ultrasound evaluation
- Identify applications and criteria for Transcranial Doppler
(TCD) studies
- Select appropriate tests for acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Interpret renal and mesenteric duplex scanning
- Know how to set-up a successful vascular laboratory
- Relate ultrasound findings to the underlying anatomic and physiologic
changes attributable to vascular disease
- Use recommended interpretation criteria, understanding the varying
strengths and limitations of each test modality
- Employ the important elements to compose preliminary and final
vascular laboratory reports
