Advanced Vascular Workshop 2007

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
This new four day program is designed to provide a foundation for the use of state-of-the-art
techniques in vascular diagnosis. The fourth day will be used to exctend the scanning techniques of participants and enhance skills confidence in the applications taught.

Particular attention is given to both the role of colour Doppler and the practical probe manipulation manoeuvres required to obtain good ultrasound "windows" to vessels being interrogated. Participants will have the opportunity to apply the knowledge they have acquired in small group "hands-on" tutorial sessions. These extended practical sessions will be
directed by experienced vascular sonographers.

LECTURE TOPICS INCLUDE:

Instrumentation
Vascular Anatomy
Non-ultrasound peripheral arterial assessment
Ultrasound peripheral arterial assessment
Interpretation of results
Superficial venous examination
Superficial thrombophlebitis
Venous incompetence
Venous mapping
Abdominal vascular anatomy review
Doppler examination of abdominal vasculature
Renal artery disease & examination technique

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1. To provide instruction in vascular anatomy, abdominal vasculature and renal pathology & diagnosis, along with the techniques of ultrasound vascular assessment of the peripheral arterial system and the lower limb superficial venous system.
2. To provide an understanding of non-ultrasound peripheral arterial testing.
3. To provide extended practical tuition in the techniques of vascular scanning, including colour & spectral Doppler techniques.

This course caters for those sonographers wishing to broaden their skills into new areas of application and assumes a knowledge of basic ultrasound physics.
