OVERVIEW

Introduction to Carotid Duplex/color Flow Imaging 2022 is organized by Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute (GCUS) Inc and will be held from Jul 18 - 19, 2022 at Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute, St. Petersburg, Florida, United States of America.

Target Audience:
Sonographers, physicians, physician assistants and other medical professionals learn how to perform and/or interpret carotid duplex/color examinations. Participants may include (but are not limited to) those involved with internal medicine, cardiology, radiology, neurology, general/vascular surgery, and primary care.

Description:
Introduction to Carotid Duplex/Color Flow Imaging Live Training Course is taught by leading vascular ultrasound experts and covers cerebrovascular anatomy/physiology, Doppler principles, scan techniques, interpretation criteria, and interactive interpretation sessions. Extensive hands-on workshops are provided with a 3:1 participant to faculty hands-on scan ratio allowing the participant to have the confidence to immediately integrate the skills learned into clinical practice.

Combine the Carotid Duplex/Color Flow Imaging program with the 2-day Peripheral Vascular Duplex/Color Flow Imaging for the most comprehensive vascular ultrasound training. The combined course offers the ability to expand your knowledge and competence to increase the patient services offered. In addition, a tuition discount is applied to the combined programs along with savings in travel expenses.

Objectives:
• Increase the participant’s knowledge to better perform and/or interpret Carotid Duplex/Color Flow Imaging ultrasound examinations.
• Apply knowledge of the anatomy/physiology of the cerebrovascular system to the Carotid Duplex examination.
• Cite Doppler/color physics principles and be able to (sonographers) apply these principles to optimize system controls and/or (physicians) utilize this information for identifying technical errors which may result in misdiagnosis.
• Perform routine scan protocols and Doppler calculations in a complete carotid duplex/color examination.
• Differentiate normal/abnormal spectral Doppler/color characteristics.
• List methods for obtaining quantitative information and state the diagnostic relevance of each measurement.
• Characterize plaque morphology and other pathology associated with cerebral vascular disease.
• Perform Intima-Media Thickness measurements and state the clinical significance as a screening method for cardiovascular disease.
• Integrate the information to include and prepare a structured report for a carotid ultrasound examination.
• Apply diagnostic criteria for accurate interpretation of carotid duplex/color flow examinations
