Vascular Ultrasound Imaging Course

Date: 10th - 11th October 2023

Location: Manchester

Fees: Please see weblink below for details

Description of Event: BOOK NOW for early bird reductions! 14 CPD points in accordance with the RCR CPD scheme

Join us for an intensive two day, socially distanced course on the application of duplex, pulsed wave, colour and power Doppler techniques in the investigation of the abdominal, extra and intra-cranial and Peripheral vasculature.

Structure:

Theory lectures are supported by practical hands-on scanning workshops, facilitated by our expert faculty. The lectures cover the basic principles of techniques and a review of the current state of ultrasound arteriography and venography, whilst the practical workshops provide 1:1 supervised scanning opportunities in small groups.

Topics include: 

Haemodynamics and Doppler Ultrasound, Lower limb arteries, Investigation carotid and vertebral arteries, Superficial venous system, Intracranial vasculature, Lower Limb Deep venous system, Ultrasound in surgical procedures, Upper limb vasculature, Ultrasound imaging in surgery, Aorta and branches, Stent and graft surveillance, Ultrasound monitoring of haemodialysis, Artefacts and errors.

Clinical lectures include:

  • Normal vasculature and variants
  • Examination protocols
  • Currently accepted diagnostic criteria
  • Case histories
  • Pitfalls in interpretation

There will also be the opportunity to practice EVLA ultrasound guided simulation with phantom under the guidance of a experienced vascular surgeon.

All delegates are invited to the complementary course dinner on Tuesday 10th October.

Clinical topics include:

  • Basic principles of ultrasound imaging
  • Haemodynamics and Doppler ultrasound techniques
  • Lower limb deep venous system
  • Lower limb superficial venous system
  • Upper limb venous system
  • Ultrasound imaging in surgical practice.

Each clinical lecture will cover: normal vasculature and variants; examination protocols; diagnostic criteria; case histories; pitfalls in interpretation.

There will also be the opportunity to practice EVLA ultrasound guided simulation with a phantom, under the guidance of an experienced vascular surgeon.
