 vide you with a basic, practical understanding of carotid ultrasound. 
 The physics and instrumentation of carotid scanning, to include the sp
 ectral analysis and correlation is covered for obtaining quantitative 
 information. The hemodynamics of the cerebrovascular system are explai
 ned as they relate to the Doppler procedure. You will learn to measure
  Intimal Medial Thickness (IMT) of the inner two layers of the carotid
  artery and it’s correlation to coronary artery disease. The use of 
 color and the normal versus abnormal characteristics are discussed.\nO
 bjectivesAt the completion of this course, the learner will be able to
 : • Identify the ultrasound appearance of normal carotid anatomy, ar
 chitecture and flow. • Use color flow and imaging to evaluate caroti
 d flow. • Describe the use of ultrasound to characterize carotid art
 erial disease. • Perform Doppler calculations in a complete carotid 
 procedure. • Perform a basic carotid arterial procedure using the co
 rrect protocol. • Describe image-optimization for carotid artery ult
 rasound exams. • Identify additional resources for information on ca
 rotid arterial ultrasound. • Measure the intimal medial thickness of
  the cornary artery.\nCourse Topics • Physics and Instrumentation �
 � Normal Anatomy and Hemodynamics • Scan Protocol and QA • Carotid
  Arterial Disease • Doppler Measurements • Spectral and Color Corr
 elation • Artifacts • Quantifying Carotid Artery Disease • Case 
 Studies • Hands-on Scanning\nCME Credits \"The Advanced Health Educa
