Presented by Lori Green, BA, RT, RDMS, RDCS, RVT

Produced by Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute

DESCRIPTION

Normal Carotid Duplex/Color Examination Training Video is designed to provide an overview of carotid duplex/color flow imaging fundamentals to include examination indications, cerebrovascular anatomy, scan techniques, normal image, spectral & Color Doppler characteristics. Examination protocols are outlined in accordance with IAC , AIUM, SRU, and ACR guidelines.

TARGET AUDIENCE Physicians, sonography students, sonographers, PAs and other medical professionals involved with performing and/or interpreting vascular ultrasound examinations. Physician participants may include (but are not limited to) : Radiologists, vascular and general surgeons, cardiologists, internal medicine physicians, primary care/family medicine physicians, and neurologists.

OBJECTIVES

-State the indications for performing carotid duplex/color flow examinations.

-Identify normal anatomy and waveform characteristics of the CCA, Bifurcation, ICA, ECA, subclavian and vertebral arteries.

-Demonstrate use of waveform patterns to differentiate low resistance and high resistance flow patterns.

-List standard velocity and ratio measurements used to quantify disease.

-Outline a comprehensive protocol and appropriate documentation as outlined by published ultrasound and accreditation guidelines.

TOPICS - Clinical Indications for Performing Carotid Duplex/Color Flow Imaging, Disease Progression, Cerebrovascular Anatomy and Ultrasound Imaging and Doppler/Color Characteristics, Normal Spectral Doppler Characteristics & Routine Measurements, Carotid Scan Protocols
