Ultrasound of Anterior and Posterior Circulation (Carotid and Vertebral Systems)

Monday, April 8, 2024

11:00am – 12:30pm

Location:Governor's B - 4th Floor

CE: 1.5

This session provides a review of sonographic evaluation of the extracranial and intracranial carotid and vertebral systems as well as detailed evaluation of the subclavian artery and related pathological conditions. Universally utilized sonographic protocols and updates of the criteria for carotid stenosis will also be discussed. Tips and tricks in evaluation of the transcranial vasculature will be provided.
