Course Overview
Part 1 of this educational webinar series delves into the essential concepts of spectral Doppler waveforms, focusing on the upper and lower extremities. This session provides a comprehensive understanding of how to interpret spectral waveforms, identifying normal and abnormal flow patterns in vascular ultrasound. Attendees will learn how to assess arterial and venous conditions, with detailed analysis of waveform morphology in both upper and lower extremities. The webinar emphasizes practical applications, guiding clinicians in recognizing common pathologies such as stenosis, occlusion, and venous reflux. Ideal for healthcare professionals seeking to enhance their diagnostic skills in vascular ultrasound, this session is a critical foundation for interpreting spectral waveforms in peripheral vascular assessments.
Course Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant will:
Identify and recognize the vascular anatomy of the upper and lower extremities.
Understand and interpret different types of waveform patterns on spectral Doppler.
Target Audience
Physicians, sonographers, and others who perform and/or interpret ultrasound.
* AMA PRA Category 1 ™ credits are used by physicians and other groups like PAs and certain nurses. Category 1 credits are accepted by the ARDMS, CCI, ACCME, and Sonography Canada.
