The course includes the following key aspects:

1. Ultrasound anatomy of the cervical segments of the carotid and vertebral arteries: Study the detailed ultrasound anatomy and structural features of the neck vessels, which form the basis for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

2. Examination stages: Master the sequence of steps required for a comprehensive ultrasound examination of the carotid and vertebral arteries, from patient preparation to data acquisition and interpretation.

3. Performing the required measurements: Learn to accurately measure vascular and blood flow parameters, which is critically important for identifying stenoses, atherosclerotic changes, and other pathologies of the neck vessels.

4. Image optimization: Study techniques and methods that improve ultrasound image quality for more accurate diagnosis.

5. Diagnosis of rotational compression syndrome: Special attention is given to rotational compression syndrome of the vertebral arteries - a condition that can lead to serious neurological consequences. You will learn to recognize this syndrome and determine its severity, enabling timely referral of the patient for further treatment.

This microcourse is a valuable resource for ultrasound diagnostics physicians seeking to expand their knowledge and skills in vascular ultrasound diagnostics. The practical skills acquired during the course will significantly improve the quality of your examinations and enable more accurate diagnosis of neck vessel diseases, ensuring a high level of patient care.
