 ctives & Topics\nAt the completion of this program, the participant sh
 ould be able to:\n\n1. Identify the anatomy/physiology of the cerebrov
 ascular system.\n2. Discuss Doppler/color physics & be able to (sonogr
 aphers) apply these principles to optimize system controls or (physici
 ans) utilize this informationnfor identifying technical errors which m
 ay result in misdiagnosis.\n3. Perform routine scan protocols and Dopp
 ler calculations in a complete carotid duplex/color examination.\n4. I
 dentify normal/abnormal spectral Doppler/color characteristics; explai
 n methods for obtaining quantitative information and state the diagnos
 tic relevance of each measurement.\n5. Describe & characterize plaque 
 & other pathologies associated with cerebrovascular disease.\n6. Discu
 ss IMT measurements & evaluation & their clinical significance as a sc
 reening method for cardiovascular disease.\n7. Increase knowledge & co
 nfidence to perform and/or interpret carotid ultrasound examinations.\
 n8. Apply the information discussed in a clinical setting, under super
 vised conditions until an accepted level of proficiency has been achie
 ved.\n\nCourse Topics:\n\n• Doppler/Color fundamentals\n• Anatomy/
 physiology and disease progression\n• Normal spectral analysis\n• 
 Carotid scan protocol\n• Disease progression & clinical history\n•
  Carotid stenosis assessment\n• IMT: Measurement and Evaluation\n•
  Interactive interpretation case studies\n• Non-atherosclerotic abno
 rmalities\n• Carotid pitfalls — a case-based approach\n• How to 
 structure a report (case examples)\n• Hands-on sessions\n\nTarget Au
 dience\n\nSonographers, physicians, PAs & other medical professionals 
 learning to perform peripheral vascular duplex/color exams. Also, phys
 icians who\nare at an entry level of interpretation. Physician may inc
 lude (but are not limited to) those involved with internal medicine, c
 ardiology, radiology, and general/vascular surgery.\n\nCME Credit Stat
 ements\n\nThe Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute is accredited by the Accr
 editation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continui
 ng medical education for physicians.\n\nThe Gulfcoast Ultrasound Insti

 ategory A continuing education credit. Note: ASRT credits are accepted
  by the ARRT as Category A credits.\n\nThis course also meets CME/CEU 
 requirements for ARDMS. Note: While offering the CME credit hours note
 d above, activities are not intended to provide extensive training or 
 certification for exam performance or interpretation.\n\nFor more info
