Hands On Workshop |
| |
Participants will be guided through real time ultrasound scanning. Hold the probe, obtain the image and interpret the findings. Participants will be rotated through stations of PVD and aortic imaging, carotid and graft surveillance and DVT and venous incompetence disease. Participants will be proctored by experienced vascular sonographers. |

Learning objectives for hands on vascular ultrasound workshop
1. Correctly identify ICA and take spectral analysis of CCA and ICA jet. Identify Vertebral artery and establish direction of flow
2. Correctly measure AAA/aorta
3. Targeted spectral analysis of a SFA stenosis
4. Identify on colour mapping the proximal and distal anastamoses of a bypass graft.
5. Transverse compression test from CFV to Pop V
