Register What you will learn Course description: During this physician-led, one-day course attendees will review interpretation basics and be presented with multiple case studies that demonstrate unusual pathologies to help develop confidence recognizing them. Common pitfalls will also be explained to help reduce the likelihood of misinterpretation. This class offers a unique opportunity to focus on carotid duplex interpretation in an in-depth way. Attendees will review complex cases including correlative invasive exams that sonographers in particular do not usually see.
