GCUS Duplex/Color Evaluation of Venous Insufficiency 2019
OBJECTIVES
- Increase the participants’ knowledge to better perform and/or interpret lower extremity venous ultrasound examinations.
- Apply knowledge of the anatomy/physiology of the lower extremity venous system into the venous testing examinations.
- Cite Doppler/color physics and be able to (sonographers) apply these principles to optimize system controls and/or (physicians) utilize this information for recognizing technical errors which may result in misdiagnosis.
- Perform routine scan protocols, and document Doppler waveforms for lower extremity venous evaluations of the lower extremity.
- Differentiate normal/abnormal imaging, spectral Doppler and color characteristics for identifying venous disease.
- Perform routine scan protocols and document Doppler waveforms for venous evaluation of the lower extremities, including pre and post vein ablation evaluation.
- State the role of ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of venous insufficiency.
- Perform evaluation for venous insufficiency and patency of perforators for vein therapy treatment.
