The course covers the following key aspects:

1. Ultrasound anatomy of the lower limb arteries: Gain detailed knowledge of the anatomical structure and characteristics of the lower limb arteries, which form the basis for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of vascular diseases.

2. Examination stages: Master the sequence of steps required to perform a complete and comprehensive ultrasound examination of the lower limb arteries, from patient preparation to analysis and interpretation of the obtained data.

3. Segmental pressure: Study the technique for measuring segmental pressure in the lower limb arteries to identify areas of reduced blood flow and stenosis.

4. Occlusion plethysmography: Master the plethysmography technique for assessing blood filling and venous outflow, enabling the diagnosis of various vascular pathologies.

5.Ankle-brachial pressure index: Learn to calculate this important parameter, which helps assess the severity of peripheral arterial disease and the risk of ischemia.

6. Duplex imaging: Master duplex ultrasound scanning for visualization of the lower limb arteries, which is a key method for assessing vascular anatomy, blood flow velocity, and identifying areas of stenosis or occlusion.

This microcourse is a valuable resource for ultrasound diagnostics physicians seeking to improve their skills in the diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases of the lower limbs. The practical knowledge and skills acquired during the training will enable you to perform accurate and effective diagnostics, helping to improve your patients’ quality of life.
