Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Discuss the relative strengths of key imaging modalities—ultrasound, CT, MRI, and angiography—and apply each appropriately for diagnosing vascular disease.
• Incorporate the latest best practices to optimize the quality of vascular imaging within each modality.
• Recognize the imaging manifestations of traumatic and nontraumatic vascular injury, atherosclerotic disease, chronic thromboembolism, mesenteric ischemia, vasculitis, and congenital vascular abnormalities.
• Utilize vascular imaging for surgical and interventional planning, including procedures such as TAVR, prostatic embolization, surgical free flaps, and aortic aneurysm management.
• Describe and apply the latest imaging innovations, including artificial intelligence, spectral CT, 4D flow, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound, to improve vascular disease diagnosis.
