SVU On Demand Webinar 061423: Optimizing Doppler & Color – Connecting Practice to Theory-Optimizing Doppler and Color

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is a recording of a webinar on eLearning hosted by the FBU eLearning Educational Committee. The chairperson, Lori Lizanski, introduces the co-chair, Dr. Anil Kumar, and discusses the new learning management system. Attendees are reminded that the webinar will be recorded and available online for free on the FBU website. They are also instructed on how to use the GoToWebinar program, where to submit questions, and how to receive CME credits. The main topic of the webinar is a presentation by Aileen French Sherry on optimizing Doppler and color in vascular ultrasound. Aileen is an expert in vascular testing and has experience teaching and training technologists. She discusses the importance of optimizing B-mode images, Doppler waveforms, and color images for accurate and easily interpretable results. Aileen explains the use of angles and cosines in Doppler measurements, and provides guidance on aligning the transducer, setting the angle cursor, and selecting the sample volume size and position. She also addresses the use of gain, scale, and invert in obtaining optimal waveforms and color images. The webinar concludes with a Q&A session, where Aileen provides answers to questions on topics such as angle measurements and measuring volume flow in dialysis grafts. Overall, the webinar serves as a resource for technologists and other healthcare professionals looking to improve their skills in Doppler and color optimization in vascular ultrasound.
