The Neurovascular Interpretation course is designed for attendees to interpret at least 200 neurovascular ultrasound cases (100 carotid and 100 TCD studies) in a supervised environment. Case presentations will include brief clinical history and, when available, the results of correlative studies. Videotape, digital images, and other hard copy results will be reviewed and an interpretation created. The clinical reading will be provided for comparison with the interpretation created by the attendee. Some unknown cases will be reviewed and submitted for critique. Prior completion of the Neurovascular Ultrasound course (or its equivalent) including hands-on and practical interpretation experience is strongly encouraged. Charles H. Tegeler IV, MD, Director. |

At the conclusion of this continuing medical education activity, the participant should be better able to:
· Discuss criteria for the interpretation of carotid duplex and transcranial Doppler ultrasound studies.
· Discuss the descriptors of plaque features used for interpretation of B-mode imaging data on carotid duplex ultrasonography.
· Create a preliminary interpretation of carotid duplex and transcranial Doppler ultrasound examinations. |
