  provide you with a basic, practical understanding of carotid ultrasou
 nd. The physics and instrumentation of carotid scanning, to include th
 e spectral analysis and correlation is covered for obtaining quantitat
 ive information. The hemodynamics of the cerebrovascular system are ex
 plained as they relate to the Doppler procedure. You will learn to mea
 sure Intimal Medial Thickness (IMT) of the inner two layers of the car
 otid 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
  able to:\n• Identify the ultrasound appearance of normal carotid an
 atomy, architecture and flow.\n• Use color flow and imaging to evalu
 ate carotid flow.\n• Describe the use of ultrasound to characterize 
 carotid arterial disease.\n• Perform Doppler calculations in a compl
 ete carotid procedure.\n• Perform a basic carotid arterial procedure
  using the correct protocol.\n• Describe image-optimization for caro
 tid artery ultrasound exams.\n• Identify additional resources for in
 formation on carotid arterial ultrasound.\n• Measure the intimal med
 ial thickness of the cornary artery.\n\nCourse Topics\n• Physics and
  Instrumentation\n• Normal Anatomy and Hemodynamics\n• Scan Protoc
 ol and QA\n• Carotid Arterial Disease\n• Doppler Measurements\n•
  Spectral and Color Correlation\n• Artifacts\n• Quantifying Caroti
 d Artery Disease\n• Case Studies\n• Hands-on Scanning\n\nCME Credi
