Understanding Pseudo-Normalization & Bow Hunter’s Syndrome: A Case Study Presentation
July 23

8:00 pm EDT
ULTRASOUND SOLUTIONS CORP. eagerly welcomes Joshua Waks, Owner and Founder of Neurovascular Lab (NVL) Solutions, for an illuminating discussion on the use of Carotid Duplex for the diagnosis of Bow Hunter’s Syndrome.
Course Description:
Do you have a strong understanding of the basic flow dynamics in the head and neck? Are you familiar with the effect of intracranial disease on extracranial blood flow? This presentation will cover Bow Hunter’s Syndrome, how it presents, and how to test for it when performing a carotid duplex. The importance of critical thinking and how one cannot simply quantify disease based solely on velocities and ratios will be stressed. (Approved for 1 SDMS CME credit, provided one is present for the entire event.)
Course Objectives:Upon completion of this educational activity, the participant will be able to:
Describe Bow Hunter’s Syndrome.
Discuss how to modify a Carotid Duplex exam to test Bow Hunter’s Syndrome.
Recognize the reasons why extracranial velocities and visualized plaque-burden may not correlate in this condition.
About Our Speaker:
Joshua Waks, NVS, RVT, started his ultrasound career in 2012 and fell in love with the hemodynamics of intracranial flow while in school. Shortly after he began his Registered Vascular Technology career, he began working at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, in one of the top Cerebrovascular labs in the country, performing all manner of TCD exams. After a few years, Joshua moved to New Mexico and started the TCD program at the University of New Mexico Hospital. He ultimately developed his own company, NVL (Neurovascular Lab) Solutions, where he currently provides a “one-on-one training experience” to medical professionals and providers who want to better understand and perform the various Transcranial Doppler exams. Joshua also serves as an Honoraria Instructor at the Wake Forest School of Medicine Neurovascular Ultrasound Program, helping to teach doctors and Sonographers how to perform TCD. In addition, he lectures at ultrasound schools and presents at ultrasound society meetings.
This activity has been approved for 1.0 SDMS CME credit.
The CME participant roster will be reported by Ultrasound Solutions Corp. to the
SDMS CME Tracker System.
Important update from the SDMS:
SDMS no longer allows its CME providers to issue Partial Credit for attendance. If you join late or leave early, the SDMS will no longer permit us to award partial pro-rated credit.
Therefore, from now on, in order to receive CME credit, you must be in attendance for the ENTIRE event via your own unique Zoom link that Zoom emailed to you when you registered. Then, and only then, will USC be able to award you any credit. So, please be prompt and attentive to the time schedule. We apologize for any inconvenience, but again, this is a new SDMS policy we must abide by. Thank you for understanding.
