Course Summary
The course evaluates the lower extremity venous system for insufficiency and thrombosis. Lecture includes Doppler physics, flow dynamics, anatomy, scanning protocol, endovascular intervention and post-procedure follow up. We teach a balanced approach of proper documentation performed in a timely manner. Each day consists of a combination of scan lab and lecture to provide a solid foundation for venous insufficiency assessment.
