Course Overview
This course is designed to develop a strong foundation in both performance and interpretation of vascular ultrasound. We developed lectures in conjunction with the medical director and technical director of the vascular lab at Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital as well as esteemed faculty from Stanford University Hospital, University of Colorado, and Johns Hopkins Hospital that thoroughly cover an array of topics focused on the interpretation of vascular ultrasound. We have included multiple practical examples through case presentations that allow for the learner to develop a foundation in vascular lab as well as the ability to apply this knowledge directly to patient situations. At the end of this course, the learner will be able to perform and interpret vascular laboratory studies, be prepared for the Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) exam, and create a vascular laboratory at their home institution.
Who Should Attend
- Primary Care Physicians
- Specialty Physicians
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Demonstrate clinical interpretation of arterial and venous vascular noninvasive studies in the peripheral, cerebrovascular, and abdominal systems.
- Discuss the clinical application of velocity criteria for grading of stenosis in the vasculature including dialysis grafts, endovascular interventions in the aorta and peripheral system, and bypass grafts.
- Summarize basic ultrasound physics and ultrasound technology as it applies to vascular diagnostics.
- Review topics commonly found on the Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI) exam.
- Develop and Implement a Vascular Laboratory Program at their home institution.
Agenda
All agenda sessions are in Eastern Time.
