GCUS Duplex/Color Evaluation of Venous Insufficiency 2019 ( VIDEOS)

GCUS Duplex/Color Evaluation of Venous Insufficiency 2019

• GCUS Duplex/Color Evaluation of Venous Insufficiency Course is the first step in obtaining a strong foundation to begin performing and/or interpreting venous
• duplex/color flow ultrasound examinations. The venous ultrasound protocols are taught in accordance with AIUM and IAC guidelines. In addition, a comprehensive review
• of diagnostic criteria for evaluation of DVT, venous insufficiency, and pre/post mapping for vein ablation procedures is also provided.
• This self-directed course is designed with six modules and includes online video lectures, case presentations, and post-activity quizzes. Seventeen venous case studies are
• also included. Enrollment is valid for 12 months (365 days) and begins the moment the participant is enrolled. Extend your online course access another 3 months with the
• addition of an onsite hands-on workshop or registration for a regularly scheduled GCUS scan workshop.

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.

AUDIENCE

Sonographers, physicians, physician assistants and other medical professionals involved with performing and/or interpreting venous ultrasound examinations and vein ablation procedures. Physician participants may include (but are not limited to) those involved with internal medicine, cardiology, radiology, neurology, general/vascular surgery, and primary care
