About the Course
Many general and specialized sonographers have basic to moderate training in vascular ultrasound but lack a more specific and specialized training to perform tests with confidence. Vascular Sonography has been designed to provide the general sonographer a better understanding of vascular ultrasound.
Each module provides anatomy and pathology of the vascular system, along with protocols and tips to help improve the ultrasound scans for the vascular system. Basic physics of fluid dynamics are also included as a reminder to what it takes to provide quality imaging.
Topics covered include:
- Carotid
- Upper and lower limb arterial
- Upper and lower limb venous
- Aorta
- Renal/mesenteric arteries
- Dialysis fistula
- Hemodynamics and basic physics for vascular sonography
Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, learners will develop skills to recognize and identify ultrasound anatomy of the breast, prostate and uterus. The hands-on ultrasound scanning laboratory component will reinforce knowledge and develop skills for ultrasound localization.
