Hands-On Vascular Ultrasound Training

Looking for a hands-on vascular ultrasound course? NAVIX’s hands-on vascular ultrasound training will provide technologists and medical professionals with proper duplex testing techniques for early detection of many vascular conditions, including:

• Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
• Carotid artery disease

Accuracy in diagnosing vascular disease depends on accurate testing. Unlike many other ultrasound modalities, quality is more dependent on the skills of the technologist performing the exam. For this reason, hands-on vascular training led by vascular ultrasound experts is critical to advancing skills and performance of accurate diagnostic testing of vascular conditions.

NAVIX’s Hands-on Vascular Ultrasound Training is designed to advance the knowledge and skills in the use of noninvasive technology to produce comprehensive exams that go beyond screening, providing physicians with the clinical information they require for treatment  The training can be customized to improve skills in all or specific areas of vascular testing including cerebrovascular, extremity arterial, extremity venous and visceral vascular.

Target Audience

The target audience for this program is sonographers, cardiac sonographers, general technologists and vascular technologists seeking to acquire and expand vascular ultrasound imaging techniques. Physicians who also perform ultrasound examinations and seeking to improve their skills are also invited to participate.

Program Details

This program will help improve the quality of vascular imaging and support the needs of physicians in specific types of clinical settings including hospitals, private practice, access centers, outpatient and surgical centers, and wound care centers. While details of the program may vary based on the client’s needs, typically our training is a combination of lectures, clinical cases, and hands-on scanning of patients.

Participants can expect a review of relevant vascular anatomy, physiology, mechanisms of disease, signs, and symptoms. The hands-on portion of the training will include the appropriate use of the ultrasound technology for image optimization. Participants will learn proper techniques for producing a quality image.

NAVIX instructors will also share practical tips and tricks on imaging, patient positioning and other maneuvers used to optimize results. Additionally, our vascular imaging experts cover currently accepted testing protocols and criteria to provide up-to-date information important to providing high-quality vascular diagnostic services. Participants will also be engaged in case review sessions to ensure they are exposed to a range of common and uncommon vascular pathology.
