Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the participant should be able to:

• Demonstrate understanding of basic ultrasound physics concepts and their application to vascular ultrasound
• Recognize common imaging and Doppler artifacts and incidental findings encountered in the vascular laboratory
• Utilize spectral Doppler waveforms to assist in the evaluation of arterial and venous disease
• Demonstrate interpretation skills for diagnosis of internal carotid artery stenosis using duplex ultrasound
• Demonstrate interpretation skills for diagnosis of acute venous thrombosis and venous valvular incompetency using duplex ultrasound
• Utilize duplex ultrasound and physiological testing to localize and assess severity of lower extremity peripheral artery disease
• Apply diagnostic criteria to diagnose renal and mesenteric artery stenosis using duplex ultrasound
• Recognize clinical applications of transcranial Doppler for assessment of cerebrovascular disease
• Identify areas of knowledge deficit to improve preparation for the Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretations (PVI) Examination
