This is an intensive 2-day course/workshop on the application of duplex, pulsed wave,
colour and power Doppler techniques in the investigation of the abdominal, extra and
intra-cranial and peripheral vasculature. The course is a combination of lectures,
demonstrations and workshop sessions and is designed to cover both the basic
principles of these techniques and a review of the current state of ultrasound
arteriography and venography.
Each clinical lecture will cover the following topics:
 Normal vasculature and variants  Examination protocols
