Objectives

After reading and studying the papers used for CME in the Winter 2020 Issue of the Journal of Vascular Ultrasound, participants will be able to:


  1. Compare contrast enhanced ultrasound with computed tomography angiography for endoleak evaluation
  2. State the incidence of abdominal aortic aneurysms in screening studies
  3. Describe the different types of endoleaks
  4. Discuss the ultrasound settings necessary to optimize contrast enhanced imaging
  5. Define tarsal tunnel syndrome
  6. Describe the most common symptom associated with tarsal tunnel syndrome
  7. List the causes of tarsal tunnel syndrome
  8. Describe which diagnostic tests can help to diagnose pedal artery aneurysms
  9. State a possible complication of pedal artery aneurysm
  10. Discuss potential interventions for pedal artery aneurysm
  11. Explain how patient position can affect the venous waveforms during pregnancy
  12. List the symptoms that can be associated with isolated iliac vein thrombosis
  13. Describe what lower extremity sonographic findings should prompt sonographers to image more proximally in the pelvis and lower abdomen
  14. State the signs of chronic venous insufficiency
  15. Explain how hyperpigmentation occurs in venous insufficiency
  16. Describe treatments of chronic venous insufficiency
  17. List the risk factors for arthroscopy complications
  18. State the incidence of pseudoaneurysm after ankle arthroscopy
  19. Discuss possible treatments for ankle pseudoaneurysm
