Course overview

In successfully completing this course, students will develop advanced skills and knowledge required for vascular sonography, including: Anatomy of the peripheral vascular system including the internal and external cranial and abdominal vascular tree; knowledge of advanced vascular ultrasound techniques and non-imaging tests that complement vascular laboratory requirements; surgical mapping and implications for follow-up investigations; vascular ultrasound of organ transplants; the use of ultrasound in partnership with other diagnostic imaging modalities.

Course learning outcomes

  • Autonomously plan and describe the implementation of specialised vascular ultrasound examinations including peripheral, cerebrovascular, and visceral systems as well as for organ transplant evaluations.
  • Adapt examinations based on physical and pathological variations between patients, and those who have undergone interventional procedures.
  • Discuss the principles of plethysmography and other non-imaging techniques that complement Duplex ultrasound to provide a clinical picture for patients with advanced peripheral vascular disease.
  • Translate research and advances in vascular imaging into practice.
  • Demonstrate continual progression through supervised clinical training requirements.
