Course Objectives: Upon completion of this program the learner will be able to:

• Discuss Doppler/Color physics, factors affecting optimal Doppler examinations and commonly seen Doppler/Color artifacts, which may affect diagnostic accuracy.
• Explain routine scan protocols and analyze normal spectral waveform signatures, color characteristics, and Doppler measurements in normal carotid and peripheral vascular examinations.
• Recognize abnormal spectral Doppler and Color Doppler findings seen with carotid and peripheral arterial and venous disease.
• Discuss the role of indirect testing in the evaluation of lower extremity arterial disease.
• Apply diagnostic criteria and structure a formal report for evaluation of carotid, peripheral venous and arterial disease.
• Review complex carotid and peripheral vascular case studies in an interactive interpretation session format.
• Explain the role of ultrasound in the post-intervention examination.
• Describe ultrasound findings associated with aortic endograft leaks.
• Describe normal and abnormal spectral Doppler characteristics and diagnostic criteria associated with renal artery evaluation and dialysis access graft evaluation.
• Increase the participant's knowledge to better interpret vascular ultrasound examinations.
