2021 Noninvasive Vascular Imaging

At the completion of this CME teaching activity, you should be able to:

• Discuss the newest techniques in the noninvasive diagnosis of endovascular disease, including venous and carotid imaging.
• Assess new developments in vascular imaging.
• Discuss the utility of ultrasound and Doppler imaging when used to evaluate the aorta, carotid arteries, and peripheral vascular system.
• Utilize ultrasound to evaluate abdominal transplants, endostents, bypass grafts and dialysis fistula.
• Utilize ultrasound to evaluate the venous system of the upper and lower extremities.
• Describe the appropriate role of ultrasound in the evaluation of the renal, mesenteric and hepatic arteries.
