Target Audience: Vascular technologists, sonographers, physicians, radiologists

Attendees to this webinar will be able to:

  • Explain all of the pertinent anatomy necessary to scan patients with venous pathology

  • Describe how ultrasound is used to assist in the diagnosis of venous pathology

  • Identify the role that ultrasound plays in the mapping of the veins prior to a procedure, how ultrasound is utilized during EVTA, and the importance of the post-operative scan

This webinar is approved for 1 SVU CME credit or 1 AMA PRA Category 1 CME CreditTM..

Jointly sponsored by the University of Cincinnati and SVU.

 

Pre-Operative Mapping Prior to Vein Ablation

 

Attendees to this webinar will be able to:

  • Identify basic lower extremity anatomy and venous nomenclature consensus relevant to the lower extremity venous reflux and mapping portions of the duplex examination.
  • View the common reflux patterns patients present with and how to “map” them with duplex ultrasound
  • Understand the importance of the reflux mapping and its relevance prior to various ablation procedures. Describe the deep and superficial anatomy of the lower extremity venous system

Lower Extremity Venous Anatomy and Physiology

Attendees to this webinar will be able to:

  • Explain the deep and superficial anatomy of the lower extremity venous system
  • Integrate the duplex scan to define and understand the anatomy
  • Describe how to use duplex ultrasound to diagnose venous disease
  • Understand the normal lower extremity venous physiology and hemodynamics
  • Gain an understanding of the importance of the muscular compartments and how the create the calf muscle pump

What I Have Learned (So Far) About Duplex Assessment of Hemodialysis


Access Duplex ultrasound evaluation of hemodialysis access conduits is an exam type that is performed often by some facilities, and rarely or never in other vascular laboratory settings. Indications for AV access duplex and reimbursement guidelines are often confusing and will be discussed as part of this course. We will review the types of AV access that are most commonly created as well as a protocol for completing the examination. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of proper equipment selection and optimization, as this is central to success. Normal and abnormal findings will be explored through a review of cases.

Carotid Imaging: Risk, Review and QA Compliance


This webinar will review the basic fundamentals that every technologist performing carotid imaging should know. Components of this talk will include; risk factors and appropriate indications for carotid artery imaging with a review of extracranial/carotid anatomy and physiology. The correct technical aspects of carotid duplex imaging and requirements as per IAC vascular Standards will be discussed.
