Transcranial Doppler for Cerebrovascular Disease 2017
In-Person Event
Sep 11 - 13, 2017
Seattle, Washington, USA
OVERVIEW
Transcranial Doppler for Cerebrovascular Disease is organized by Pacific Vascular Institute for Continuing Medical Education (PVICME) and would be held during Sep 11 - 13, 2017 at Swedish Medical Center, Seattle, Washington, United States Of America.
The target audience for this medical event are physicians, sonographers, technologists and other health care professionals seeking to acquire the skill sets and knowledge base required to apply, perform and interpret Transcranial Doppler (TCD) and Transcranial Doppler Imaging (TCDI) studies. This CME conference has been approved with a maximum of 23.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s).
Description :
Didactic lectures and daily faculty-guided hands-on scanning sessions will provide learners with the opportunity to view and practice TCD and TCDI techniques. Interactive case studies will serve to further develop interpretation skills and clarify the role of TCD/TCDI in the management of patients with cerebrovascular disease. Lectures will cover the various settings in which TCD is performed including the diagnostic laboratory, emergency room, neurocritical care unit, operating rooms and endovascular procedure rooms.
Course Objectives :
Students who successfully complete the course will be able to :
• Identify basic principles of intracranial arterial vascular anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology
• Demonstrate the proper techniques for the performance of TCD and TCDI
• Recognize normal and abnormal intracranial Doppler spectral waveforms
• Describe the clinical usefulness and limitations of TCD and TCDI techniques
• Apply basic TCD/TCDI Interpretation to real cases
