MEETING DESCRIPTION:
Vascular Ultrasound
This 5-day seminar will cover vascular anatomy and hemodynamics in depth. Spectral and color Doppler physics will be discussed, from the discovery of the principle by Dr. Christian Andreas Doppler through the detailed physics of both modalities. The correlation between the Doppler modalities will be covered so that you can correctly interpret the information in your scans. The optimization of the major Doppler controls of each modality will be discussed and examples will be shown. The know-how to optimize these functions will improve your ability to produce more diagnostic images at the scanning sessions. Presentations will be given on the use of Doppler in each of the following studies: carotids, peripheral venous, peripheral arterial and abdominal. These clinical presentations will include the anatomy and hemodynamics of the vessels under discussion, normal and abnormal studies and scan tips. All the studies will be demonstrated and you will practice on models during the scanning sessions.
