Overview

Ultrasound Evaluation of Non-Atherosclerotic Carotid Abnormalities training video will focus on a case-based approach using duplex ultrasound to evaluate the non-atherosclerotic carotid abnormalities. The cases will emphasize differentiating and documenting ultrasound findings associated with various abnormalities associated with intraluminal obstruction, structural wall integrity defects, extraluminal pathology and compression syndromes.

Topics

  • Intraluminal Obstruction: thromboembolism, dissection, fibromuscular dysplasia, vasculitis/arteritis, radiation fibrosis
  • Structural (wall) integrity defects: Aneurysmal disease; penetrating ulcers; arterio-venous fistulas; tortuosity/coiling

  • Recognize ultrasound findings associated with carotid body tumor, jugular vein thrombosis, and extrinsic compression syndromes .
  • Identify incidental neck masses commonly seen when performing a carotid duplex/color flow imaging examination.
  • Improve knowledge and competence to perform and/or interpret carotid duplex/color flow imaging examinations.

Audience
