The Neurovascular Ultrasound courses provide an in-depth exploration of the anatomy, pathophysiology, and hemodynamics of extracranial and intracranial cerebral circulation.
Participants will gain expertise in various clinical applications of transcranial Doppler (TCD) and carotid duplex sonography on evaluation and management of cerebrovascular disease covering B mode scans, color-flow imaging, duplex imaging and pulse wave Doppler measurements. Evidence based review of techniques and interpretations will be taught through virtual lectures and in person hands-on stations in an interactive format.
This is a comprehensive on-week course that will be virtual online didactics for the first four days with in person hands-on component in the last two days of the week. The first two days of the course focus on transcranial Doppler and the second two days focus on carotid ultrasound. A travel day is built into the 5th day with in person hands-on labs on the weekend. The course will be useful for attendees intending to integrate TCD and carotid ultrasound into their clinical practice and allows 40 hours of CME credit and clinical knowledge to take the RPNI and NVS exam. This course provides the foundation knowledge of TCD and carotid ultrasound for attendees with no to minimal experience in using these modalities.
