Overview

The Duplex/Color Evaluation of Venous Insufficiency Online Course is a comprehensive, self-paced program designed to help medical professionals master the ultrasound evaluation of chronic venous disease. Ideal for vascular technologists, sonographers, physicians, and PAs/NPs, this online training provides step-by-step instruction on how to perform and interpret lower extremity venous insufficiency ultrasound exams with accuracy and confidence.

This on-demand online course includes expert-led video lectures, detailed scan demonstrations, and real-world case studies focused on identifying venous reflux, obstruction, and varicose vein pathology. Learners gain a solid foundation in venous anatomy and hemodynamics while developing practical skills for optimizing Doppler techniques, using proper reflux criteria, and avoiding common scanning errors.

Key Features:

  • Complete instruction on lower extremity venous insufficiency ultrasound
  • Expert education on venous reflux assessment and Doppler optimization
  • High-quality case studies and scan demonstrations
  • Ideal for sonographers, physicians, and vascular professionals
  • Self-paced online learning—accessible anytime, on any device

Topics

  • Doppler and Color Fundamentals: Vascular Ultrasound
  • Venous Duplex Ultrasound: Anatomy, Physiology, & Examination Techniques
  • Lower Extremity Venous Duplex Ultrasound: Evaluation for DVT
  • Lower Extremity Venous Duplex Ultrasound Scan Demonstration
  • Ultrasound Evaluation of Venous Insufficiency
  • Ultrasound Evaluation for Venous Ablation Procedures
  • Ultrasound Evaluation of Venous Insufficiency Scan Demonstration
  • Venous Ultrasound Case Studies

Objectives

  • Increase the participants’ knowledge to better perform and/or interpret lower extremity venous ultrasound examinations.
  • Apply knowledge of the anatomy/physiology of the lower extremity venous system into the venous testing examinations.
  • Cite Doppler/color physics and be able to (sonographers) apply these principles to optimize system controls and/or (physicians) utilize this information for recognizing technical errors which may result in misdiagnosis.
  • Perform routine scan protocols and document Doppler waveforms for lower extremity venous evaluations of the lower extremity.
  • Differentiate normal/abnormal imaging, spectral Doppler and color characteristics for identifying venous disease.
  • Perform routine scan protocols and document Doppler waveforms for venous evaluation of the lower extremities, including pre and post vein ablation evaluation.
  • State the role of ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of venous insufficiency.
  • Perform evaluation for venous insufficiency and patency of perforators for vein therapy treatment.
