 ovide you with a basic, practical understanding of carotid ultrasound.
  The physics and instrumentation of carotid scanning, to include the s
 pectral analysis and correlation is covered for obtaining quantitative
  information. The hemodynamics of the cerebrovascular system are expla
 ined as they relate to the Doppler procedure. You will learn to measur
 e Intimal Medial Thickness (IMT) of the inner two layers of the caroti
 d artery and it’s correlation to coronary artery disease. The use of
  color and the normal versus abnormal characteristics are discussed.\n
 \nObjectives\nAt the completion of this course, the learner will be ab
 le to:\n• Identify the ultrasound appearance of normal carotid anato
 my, architecture and flow.\n• Use color flow and imaging to evaluate
  carotid flow.\n• Describe the use of ultrasound to characterize car
 otid arterial disease.\n• Perform Doppler calculations in a complete
  carotid procedure.\n• Perform a basic carotid arterial procedure us
 ing the correct protocol.\n• Describe image-optimization for carotid
  artery ultrasound exams.\n• Identify additional resources for infor
 mation on carotid arterial ultrasound.\n• Measure the intimal medial
  thickness of the cornary artery.\n\nCourse Topics\n• Physics and In
 strumentation\n• Normal Anatomy and Hemodynamics\n• Scan Protocol 
 and QA\n• Carotid Arterial Disease\n• Doppler Measurements\n• Sp
 ectral and Color Correlation\n• Artifacts\n• Quantifying Carotid A
 rtery Disease\n• Case Studies\n• Hands-on Scanning\n\nCME Credits\
