ULTRASOUND SOLUTIONS CORP. is pleased to welcome back Raymond Gaiser, MS, RDMS, RVT, Radiology Administrator and Vascular Clinical Instructor, for one dynamic day of VIRTUAL Vascular Sonography!

 Course Description:

This all-day virtual event will provide participants with a greater understanding of a broad range of topics in the field of Vascular Sonography. This comprehensive review will be helpful to those preparing for registry and certification exams. It will also enhance general knowledge of Vascular Sonography, as well as acquaint attendees with how to apply vascular principles to improve daily scanning and image optimization. (Approved for 7.5 SDMS CME credits, provided one is present for the entire event)

Course Objectives:  Upon completion of this educational activity, the participant will be able to:

• Describe the basic principles of hemodynamics and Doppler.
• Identify normal and abnormal vascular anatomy on the 2D ultrasound study.
• Accurately identify, measure, and calculate normal and abnormal CW Doppler and PW Doppler flow velocities and waveforms.
• Identify normal and abnormal arterial and venous color-flow Doppler patterns seen on ultrasound examinations.
• Accurately identify normal and abnormal gray-scale imaging.
• Evaluate patient signs and symptoms, incorporating indication for referral; known risk factors; relevant past medical history; current medications or therapies; and pertinent demographic, cultural, social, and family history.
• Recognize and compare other diagnostic results, including clinical findings, radiographic findings, surgical findings, pathological findings, and clinical outcomes.
• Understand different treatment plans for various vascular conditions.
• Understand the process of quality improvement as it relates to vascular testing.

** Follow-up study materials will be provided to attendees after the course is completed. **
