Ultrasound Training - Venous Reflux Ultrasound Training

Fifty percent of the adult population of the
United States has some abnormality related
to the venous system. Non-invasive ultrasound
testing can determine the locations and extent
of the vascular disease. Learn or cross-train your
personnel in the advanced vascular techniques
and interpretation necessary to perform the
procedures that could expand your practice and
speed the patient’Äôs diagnosis.

Course Objectives

• Identify the ultrasound protocol and perform the ultrasoun procedure appropriate to the target patient
  population.
• Use the correct transducer and equipment settings for
  a color Doppler investigation of venous reflux.
• Identify venous reflux and grade the severity using
  Doppler ultrasound techniques.
• Identify normal and abnormal lower extremity anatomy
  and variants using real-time ultrasound techniques.
  
• Discuss appropriate treatment options based on anatomy
  and severity of venous disease.
  
• Complete a successful ultrasound procedure for venous
  reflux testing.
