DMSU 182 Ultrasound Vascular I

This course focuses on the carotid, peripheral vascular, abdominal, arterial, and venous Doppler ultrasound exams. The principles of the vascular physical examination, proper instrumentation for each type of ultrasound, as well as anatomy, pathology, hemodynamics, patient history, clinical manifestations, non-invasive techniques, pathology, and interpretation will be discussed.
