Vascular Series Utilizing Non-Invasive Techniques in the Modality Ultrasound w/ Scanning Opportunity 2015, 8 Plus CMEs
This lecturer will actively identify, describe, & evaluate common carotids, upper and venous & arterial systems using non-invasive techniques in the modality ultrasound. Describe appropriate indications, identify anatomy, describe patient preparation, describe methodology, & evaluate a live scan from a volunteer are some highlights for this CME conference. Participants will have, at minimum, a basic understanding how to perform peripheral vascular exams. Faculty is in the sonography business and do perform diagnostic imaging.
