Objectives

1. Increase the participants’ knowledge to better perform and/or interpret vascular ultrasound examinations.
2. Apply knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the cerebral vascular circulation and upper and lower extremities to their respective ultrasound evaluations.
3. Outline routine scan protocols for cerebral vascular, upper and lower arterial and venous examinations, and abdominal Doppler.
4. Differentiate normal and abnormal imaging characteristics, Doppler waveforms, color findings & physiologic testing of the venous and arterial examinations.
5. Outline protocols, identify normal/abnormal characteristics disease associated with Duplex/color evaluation of the abdominal vasculature.
6. Apply quality assurance and the relationship of specificity, sensitivity and overall accuracy of vascular ultrasound examination test validation.
7. Identify areas of weakness that require additional self-study to successful pass your vascular technology ultrasound board examination. (RVT or RVS)
