Vascular Ultrasound Imaging ‡

This course introduces vascular ultrasound imaging with a focus on hemodynamic principles and how vascular anatomy, physiology, and pathology affect ultrasound findings.

The lecture portion covers the anatomy and physiology of peripheral and central vessels and common vascular pathologies such as stenosis, occlusion, aneurysms, thrombosis, and venous insufficiency. Students learn to interpret related sonographic paterns.

Lab sessions offer hands-on training in vascular scanning and Doppler evaluation, including duplex studies of carotid arteries as well as arteries and veins in the upper and lower extremities. Emphasis is placed on image acquisition, waveform analysis, patient positioning, protocol adherence, and preliminary reporting.

Upon completion, students will be able to perform standard vascular ultrasound exams, recognize abnormal flow paterns, and contribute to accurate vascular diagnoses.
