Presented by Robert J. Daigle, BA, RVT, FSVU Recorded presentation of how to perform a color duplex exam of the upper extremity venous system. Anatomy, hemodynamics, normal/abnormal Doppler waveform characteristics are described and demonstrated in graphic format. Case presentations demonstrating typical(but often misleading) collateral venous pathways are shown. Material includes a discussion of common etiologies of venous thrombosis, including Paget-Schroetter syndrome, and common diagnostic pitfalls. Target Audience Sonographers and medical professionals learning how to perform venous duplex/color examinations; Physicians at an entry level of interpreting venous duplex/color examinations. Physician participants may include (but are not limited to) those involved with Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Radiology, and General/Vascular Surgery. After viewing this video presentation, the participant should be able to: -Identify the upper extremity venous anatomy. -Describe routine scan protocols for performing an upper extremity venous evaluation. -Recognize normal and abnormal venous Doppler characteristics. -Identify collateral flow pathways resulting from proximal obstruction Release date 7/25/2010.
