Courses and Events

Event Description:  THIS COURSE IS BEING HELD VIRTUALLY FOR DIDACTIC PORTIONS AND IN-PERSON FOR LABS.

The Neurovascular Ultrasound course presents the anatomy, pathophysiology and hemodynamics regarding the extra- and intracranial cerebral circulation. Carotid duplex sonography, color-flow imaging, carotid intima-media thickness measurement, transcranial Doppler (TCD), embolus detection and new developments in ultrasonographic methods are presented during both lectures and hands-on scanning lab sessions. The emphasis is on clinical applications, case examples and principles of interpretation. The courses are designed as a one week curriculum, and participants are encouraged to attend for the entire week. However, the first part of the week focuses on principles, physics and extracranial carotid sonography, while the latter part of the week focuses on TCD. Either part may be attended separately or participants can choose to attend one day of the course based on their preference.

*This course serves as a preamble to the Neurovascular Interpretation (Carotid and TCD) course.
