Interpretation and Reporting of Peripheral Vascular Ultrasound Imaging
Immediate and Effective Instruction to Advance Your Practice
Summary
This has all the information you need to get credentialed, and more. We started it in 1983, long before the Standards became canonized. You’ll get all the information you require to formulate the final report on the test data.
This isn’t a class; it’s as close to a private practice consultation as you can get in public; and for a lot less. The intimate class size and Keith Mauney’s interactive, engaging style ensure your needs will be more than met.
The one day course is the first half of our intense Vascular Ultrasound Interpretation course, held on the weekend. You need both.
Cutting edge information, covering the system’s origin in 1978 to the present, comprehensive course materials to use to become ICAVL-compliant, and post conference mentoring forever for free make this a powerful investment of your time.
Register now, and get closer to credentialing today.

Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course the learner should be able to:
- Maximize your communication skills by defining, explaining, and using standardized terms to describe ultrasound technology and clinical sonographic findings.
- Expedite your future learning curve by describing the fundamental components of the real-time ultrasound imaging system and discuss the role of each.
- Perform an appropriate visual inspection of the ultrasound system to identify any obvious defective condition that might compromise patient or operator safety.
- Implement quality control standards immediately, first by describing the criteria for optimal image or Doppler signal display for any condition, then taking measures to obtain it.
- Increase your clinical contribution at once, by discussing the role of, and demonstrating competence in the optimum use of the following equipment controls--regardless of brand of instrumentation used:
- contrast/brightness
- transmit power
- receiver gain
- focal zone
- pre-processing/log compression
- post-processing
- rejection
- frame rate
- time or depth gain compensation
- frequency agility
- Doppler angle correct
- beam steering-clutter/wall filter
- Nyquist limit
- Demonstrate proper ergonomic posture and demeanor for the bedside exam.
- Demonstrate proper probe handling to maximize manual dexterity and maximal tactile feedback to shorten the long term learning curve.
- Inculcate a multidimensional mindset to traslate two dimensional relationships to three dimensional and vice-versa using core principles of abstract spatial reasoning.
- Incorporate a full-field method of developing a systematic method to critical conspicuity, for purposes of evaluating the entire content of any ultrasound image immediately.
- Set up any ultrasound system to maximize input dynamic range and match its gray scale output capability, optimized for the human eye.
- Understand and make full use of post processing controls to amplify soft tissue differences; relate the technical findings to histologic composition.
- Institute the OIIME model of matrix analysis for any acquired ultrasound image.
- Prepare for future responsibility by discussing the role and use of the tissue-mimicking phantom in formal quality assurance control in the ultrasound laboratory.
