About Course
Ultrasound involves the use of high frequency ultrasound waves to produce diagnostic quality images.
This course aims to provide you with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the vascular ultrasound field. You will develop an understanding of Doppler physics and its application and importance in vascular scanning.
Topics covered include physiology of normal circulation, the process of vascular disease and its effect on the normal circulation, the ultrasound techniques involved in scanning the cerebro-vascular system, upper and lower limb vessels, and abdominal vessels as well as less common indications for vascular ultrasound.
You will also develop an insight into the role of ultrasound and other supplementary imaging tests for the diagnosis of various venous and arterial disease.
