Significant increases in the number of adults who have abnormalities requires new treatment options based on the severity of the disease. Non-invasive ultrasound testing can determine the locations and extent of the vascular disease. Knowledge of current treatment methodologies and the limitations of each are crucial to proper patient care. Venous reflux testing moves beyond traditional venous testing, focused on detection of DVT, to a preventative approach provides your patients with a rapid and accurate diagnosis.

The understanding of venous insufficiency physiology and its significance, along with the ability to accurately diagnose it, will improve patient care. Attendance in this dynamic learning course provides participants the opportunity to learn the knowledge and skills to "quantum leap" their practice to a new level of quality, service and satisfaction.

Who should attend: Physicians treating vascular disease, Sonographers performing vascular ultrasound procedures

Attend this conference and:

• Identify the ultrasound equipment requirements for performing venous reflux testing
• Learn to use appropriate duplex instrumentation
• Learn the sonographic characteristics of normal vs. abnormal anatomy, structures and blood flow
• Identify the clinical indication and contradiction for venous reflux testing
• Learn the protocols for a complete venous duplex reflux exam which incorporates both B-mode imaging, colour flow, and Doppler spectral analysis
• Evaluate and analyse ultrasound case studies for disease processes
• Develop scanning skills necessary to obtain a diagnostic clinical image of the lower extremity and complete a venous reflux ultrasound exam
• Participate in dynamic scanning workshops that allow for hands on learning experience under the guidance and supervision of an expert in cardiovascular ultrasound imaging
