GCUS Duplex/Color Evaluation of Venous Insufficiency 2019

• Increase the participants’ knowledge to better perform and/or interpret lower extremity venous ultrasound examinations.
• Apply knowledge of the anatomy/physiology of the lower extremity venous system into the venous testing examinations.
• Cite Doppler/color physics and be able to (sonographers) apply these principles to optimize system controls and/or (physicians) utilize this information for recognizing technical errors which may result in misdiagnosis.
• Perform routine scan protocols, and document Doppler waveforms for lower extremity venous evaluations of the lower extremity.
• Differentiate normal/abnormal imaging, spectral Doppler and color characteristics for identifying venous disease.
• Perform routine scan protocols and document Doppler waveforms for venous evaluation of the lower extremities, including pre and post vein ablation evaluation.
• State the role of ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of venous insufficiency.
• Perform evaluation for venous insufficiency and patency of perforators for vein therapy treatment.
