SUMMARY:Intro to Carotid and Intro to Venous Imaging and Ultrasound Ev
 aluation for Vein Therapy
DESCRIPTION:Combined Courses: Intro to Carotid and Intro to Venous Ima
 ging and Ultrasound Evaluation for Vein Therapy, October 2011\n\nStart
  Date: 10/24/2011\nEnd Date: 10/28/2011\nAdvanced Registration: $2,975
 .00\nRegular Registration: $3,055.00\nLocation: Gulfcoast Ultrasound I
 nstitute\n4615 Gulf Blvd., Suite 205\nSt. Pete Beach, FL 33706\n\n*The
  Advanced Registration fee is honored if payment is made/postmarked 21
  days or more prior to the beginning date of the program\n\nA $100.00 
 late fee will apply if registering less than or equal to 7 Days before
  the course. Call to register if less than or equal to 7 days from cou
 rse date.\n\nObjectives & Topics\nAt the completion of this program, t
 he participant should be able to:\n\n1. Identify the anatomy/physiolog
 y of the upper & lower extremity venous systems.\n2. Discuss Doppler/c
 olor physics and be able to (sonographers) apply these principles to o
 ptimize system controls or (physicians) utilize this information for r
 ecognizing technical errors which may result in misdiagnosis.\n3. Perf
 orm routine scan protocols, and document Doppler waveforms for venous 
 evaluation of the lower extremity including pre and post vein ablation
  evaluation.\n4. Identify normal/abnormal spectral Doppler/color chara
 cteristics and waveform characteristics for identifying venous disease
 .\n5. Recognize image characteristics of acute versus chronic DVT.\n6.
  Discuss the use of Ultrasound-Guidance and its role in the treatment 
 of venous insufficiency.\n7. Perform evaluation for venous insufficien
 cy to determine suitability for vein therapy treatment and to determin
 e patency of perforators.\n8. State the diagnostic criteria for identi
 fying significant venous insufficiency.\n9. Increase the participantsâ
 €™ knowledge to better perform and/or interpret lower extremity venous
  evaluation for vein closure procedures.\n10. Apply the information di
 scussed in a clinical setting, under supervised conditions until an ac
 cepted level of proficiency has been achieved.\n\nCourse Topics:\n• 
 Doppler fundamentals\n• Venous anatomy/scan techniques and normal ch
 aracteristics\n• Evaluation of venous pathology\n• Live demo: eval
 uation for DVT and venous insufficiency\n• Upper extremity venous ev
 aluation\n• Saphenous vein mapping\n• U/S evaluation for pre and p
 ost vein ablation therapy\n• Venous insufficiency and perforator eva
 luation\n• Hands-on sessions\n\nTarget Audience\nSonographers, physi
 cians, PAs and other medical professionals who are at an entry level o
 f performing venous exams for eval. of DVT & pre & post U/S eval. for 
 vein ablation procedures. Physician may include (but are not limited t
 o) internists, cardiologists, radiologists and general/vascular surgeo
 ns.\n\nCME Credit Statements\n\nThe Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute is
