Description

In this course, students will learn about alternative imaging modalities that may be used in conjunction with Ultrasound Imaging and the way in which Ultrasound and/or non-imaging arterial machines may be used to evaluate Penile Blood flow. Students will learn about various types of peripheral vascular and carotid interventions. Students will differentiate between non-invasive intervention types and explore the benefits and pitfalls of each. Students will be able to determine when each intervention may be used and decipher how each of the interventions would be assessed during an ultrasound examination post operatively.
