Elite Solutions for Diagnostics, Vein
Therapy & On-Site Education
Welcome!
And
thank you for visiting Advanced Ultrasound Consultants. Advanced Ultrasound Consultants is
dedicated to the advancement of comprehensive ("full-body") diagnostic ultrasound
with a focus on venous insufficiency and ultrasound guided vein therapy procedures.
A Word about Phlebology Ultrasound
Ultrasound in the phlebology practice cannot be understated.
It is the driving force behind the practice, not only in the scope of patient care but also in the reputation of the practice
and revenue which sustains it.
The term "mapping" for venous disease/reflux is a "four letter word". An in-depth, detailed
venous reflux duplex exam is not a mere "mapping" of a few clinically visible veins, but a detailed and complex
evaluation of the size, function and anatomical presentation/evaluation of the intricate venous system that allows the
treating physician to formulate a thorough plan of care that best suits each patient. A complete and thorough venous
duplex evaluation not only includes the deep and superficial systems, but also the medial, lateral, posterior thigh/calf
perforating veins and veins not commonly identified. It is simply not enough to treat the Great Saphenous or Small Saphenous
vein and assume the associated perforator(s) will close on their own. Chances are, over time the patent perforator
will cause the treatment to fail, the pathology and symptoms to reappear, and the patient to be dissatisfied! If you
are not familiar with the "vein of giacomini", "lateral subdermal venous system", "indirect perforators
and/or re-entry perforators",etc. chances are you are not completely evaluating the lower extremities. If that is
the case, Advanced Ultrasound Consultants can assist you!
Services
Advanced Ultrasound Consultants provides detailed venous insufficiency
ultrasound exams and comprehensive assistance with ultrasound guided vein therapy procedures (Radiofrequency
and Laser thermoablation, ultrasound guided sclerotherapy) to physicians that are incorporating vein therapy into their practice. From
setting up the case, including sterile preparation of the patient and table set-up, Advanced Ultrasound Consultants strives
to optimize physician time to minimize down-time and increase revenue.
In
addition, Advanced Ultrasound Consultants provides detailed consulting services locally as well as nationally
to physicians, sonographers and other practitioners involved in the diagnosis and treatment of venous disease.
Advanced Ultrasound Consultants can also provide at your facility, an on-site didactic
and hands-on workshop. The workshop emphasis is on
providing hands-on training and continued education in evaluating, diagnosing, treatment options and detailed scanning/evaluation of
venous insufficiency in the deep, superficial, perforating and varicose veins. The workshop is targeted to physicians,
sonographers, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and registered nurses. Participants earn 6.25
CMEs upon completion of the workshop.
