🩺 Program Overview

The Cedars-Sinai Transcranial Doppler: Building Interpretation Skills – March 2026 course provides focused, practical education on the interpretation and clinical application of Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound in neurovascular medicine.

Designed for neurologists, neurosonologists, vascular technologists, and sonographers, this comprehensive online program strengthens foundational and advanced interpretation skills required for evaluating cerebrovascular hemodynamics, waveform morphology, collateral circulation, and cerebrovascular pathology.

Using evidence-based guidelines, diagnostic criteria, and interactive case-based learning, participants will review and analyze a wide variety of supervised TCD studies in an open, supportive educational environment led by expert faculty.

The program also supports clinicians preparing for the ASN Neurosonology examination by helping satisfy supervised case study exposure requirements while improving real-world interpretation and reporting skills for inpatient and outpatient neurovascular practice.
