DMSU 284 Ultrasound Vascular II

This course will focus on furthering students' knowledge of advanced vascular anatomy to include the abdominal and peripheral vascular, arterial, and venous systems. The principles of the vascular physical examination, proper instrumentation for each type of ultrasound, as well as anatomy, pathology, hemodynamics, patient history, clinical manifestations, non-invasive techniques, and interpretation will be discussed.
