~ What are the protocols for imaging the veins of the extremities?
~ How do you overcome both common and unusual problems to optimize the image and ensure valid, unequivocal results?
~ Exactly what roles are played by venous compression and venous Doppler in the ultrasonographic venous examination?
~ How do you identify and characterize thrombus?
~ How is venous thrombosis differentiated from conditions that mimic it?
~ What does color flow imaging add to the evaluation and how should it be used?
~ Why is the transverse scan with probe compression an essential component of the venous exam?
~ How and why do you map the saphenous and other veins?
These and other questions are answered in this hands-on demonstration of scanning anatomy, technique, and interpretation of normal, abnormal, common, and uncommon findings. Perfect for training, reference, and interpretation tutorials.
Reviews
~ "This video is of such excellent quality that it could serve as a substitute for a hands-on course." - RadioGraphics
~ "The standard for diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis. This work fills a gap in the literature at such a level that the techniques described must be considered the standard of practice in the field. Obligatory for all technologists and sonographers performing venous studies and for all physicians directing vascular laboratories and interpreting venous exams." - Journal of Vascular Technology
~ "Anyone wishing to learn venous imaging would do well to utilize Venous Imaging Techniques. Its emphasis on thoroughness of exam technique, explanations of pitfalls, and factors that influence accuracy make this an excellent guide and teaching aid." - Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology
