Normal Carotid Duplex/Color Examination

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.

Video Length: 01:20:00

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.
