The Neurovascular courses present the basic principles of ultrasound physics and technology, as well as anatomy, pathophysiology, and hemodynamics regarding the extra- and intracranial cerebral circulation. Duplex sonography, color-flow imaging, transcranial Doppler, emboli detection and new developments in ultrasonographic methods are presented during both lectures and hands-on scanning lab sessions. There is a heavy emphasis on clinical applications, clinical correlations, case examples and principles of interpretation. The courses are designed as a one week curriculum, and it is recommended that students attend the entire week. However, the first three days focus on principles, physics, and extracranial sonography, while the last two days focus on transcranial Doppler. Either part may be attended separately.

The Transcranial Doppler course (401C) presents basic principles of ultrasound physics and technology, as well as the anatomy, pathophysiology, and hemodynamics pertinent to the study of intracranial circulation. Information is presented during lectures and hands-on scanning lab sessions. Presentations will address the clinical application of TCD, case examples, and principles of interpretation. William M.
