Vascular Interpretation and RPVI Registry Review Course 2018
Speakers
OVERVIEW
Vascular Interpretation and RPVI Registry Review Course is organized by Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute (GUI) Inc. and will be held during Mar 19 - 20, 2018 at Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute, St Petersburg, Florida, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is any medical professional looking to enhance their vascular interpretation skills and physicians preparing to take the ARDMS RPVI examination. Vascular surgery, general surgery, cardiologists, internal medicine, neurologists, primary care, radiologists, PAs and nurse practitioners with a minimum of 6 months experience or those who have attended an introductory/intermediate level GUI program (or other similar program). Experienced sonographers may also attend. The RPVI registry review course is also effective for physicians or other medical professionals who need to fulfill vascular CME requirements. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 16.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Course Description:
Taught by leading vascular ultrasound experts, the Vascular Ultrasound Interpretation and RPVI Registry Review course is designed for medical professionals to improve their vascular interpretation skills and/or prepare to take the Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) board examination. This vascular ultrasoundhand hands-on course/program includes lectures, interactive case presentations, and mock examinations using an audience response system to improve diagnostic confidence and competence.
Topics:
• Physics and Instrumentation
• Hemodynamic Principles & Doppler Fundamentals
• Anatomy/Physiology
• Carotid/TCD
• Peripheral Venous
• Peripheral Arterial
• Abdominal Visceral
• Normal + Abnormal Waveforms
• Integration of Data
• Interactive Case Studies
• Q & A with Instructors
• Interactive Mock Exams with Audience Response System
Conference Objectives are :
• Increase the participants’ knowledge and competence to perform and/or interpret vascular ultrasound examinations.
• Analyze Doppler/color physics that affect optimal Doppler examinations and commonly seen Doppler/color artifacts, which may affect diagnostic accuracy.
• Recognize normal/abnormal imaging, spectral Doppler and Color Doppler findings seen with carotid and peripheral arterial and venous disease.
• Cite the role of indirect testing in the evaluation of lower extremity arterial disease.
• Apply diagnostic criteria for evaluation of carotid, peripheral venous and arterial disease.
• Interpret complex carotid and peripheral vascular case studies in an interactive interpretation session format. • Recognize ultrasound findings associated with aortic endograft leaks.
• Differentiate normal and abnormal spectral Doppler characteristics associated with renal artery and dialysis access graft evaluations.
• Integrate the key diagnostic elements into a structured report.
• Increase confidence to incorporate protocols, techniques and diagnostic criteria to improve diagnosis/treatment accuracy.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
