Venous reflux testing and DVT Ultrasound Workshops at Arab Health Congress 2010 will be held on 25th & 26th January at Dubai International Convension & Exhibition Centre.

Significant increases in the number of adults who have abnormalities requires new treatment options based on the severity of the disease. Non-invasive ultrasound testing can determine the locations and extent of the vascular disease. Knowledge of current treatment methodologies and the limitations of each are crucial to proper patient care. Venous reflux testing moves beyond traditional venous testing, focused on detection of DVT, to a preventative approach provides your patients with a rapid and accurate diagnosis.

The understanding of venous insufficiency physiology and its significance, along with the ability to accurately diagnose it, will improve patient care. Attendance in this dynamic learning course provides participants the opportunity to learn the knowledge and skills to "quantum leap" their practice to a new level of quality, service and satisfaction.

Target Audience:

• Physicians treating vascular disease
• Sonographers performing vascular ultrasound procedures
  

Topics to be covered: 

• Ultrasound equipment instrumentation, transducers and knobology
• Quantitive ultrasound imaging, patient preparation and positioning
• General technical points and Doppler ultrasound
• Anatomy and physiology normal vs. abnormal
• Venous reflux imaging parameters for deep veins, superficial veins and perforating veins
• Protocols for successful venous reflux procedures
• Identification of disease process beyond DVT
• Treatment options and the role of ultrasound procedures; laser, radiofrequency, sclerotherapy, SEPS and phlebectomy
• Diagnostic criteria and scan interpretation
• Supervised hands on scanning lab with models
