Course curriculum

  • Duplex examination of the upper extremity arteries: examination protocol. Diagnosis of subclavian and axillary artery stenoses. The arterial form of anterior scalene muscle syndrome and TOS-associated aneurysms. Diagnosis of non-atherosclerotic diseases of the upper extremity arteries (hypothenar hammer syndrome, Raynaud syndrome, arteritides)
  • Duplex examination of the superior vena cava system: examination protocol. Criteria for central vein thrombosis (superior vena cava, brachiocephalic, subclavian, internal jugular). Assessment of upper extremity thrombophlebitis. Paget-Schroetter thrombosis. Ultrasound diagnosis of dialysis fistulae (preoperative examination, postoperative follow-up)
  • Duplex examination of the inferior vena cava and iliac veins. Criteria for thrombosis and neoplastic obstruction. Ultrasound assessment of the inferior vena cava filter (IVC filter)

The course covers standard Doppler examinations: ultrasound windows and standard vascular views. You will learn to assess flows and recognise haemodynamic changes in arterial pathology — confidently and systematically.

Scientific director of MEDTRAIN. 22 years of clinical work in ultrasound diagnostics; 13+ years of training physicians: from basic echocardiography to expert vascular ultrasound and functional diagnostics.

Core competencies

  • Echocardiography (quantitative chamber assessment, diastole, valvular defects, prostheses, GLS/Strain).
  • Vascular ultrasound (carotid territory, transcranial studies, arteries/veins of the lower extremities, visceral and renal vessels, post-procedural states).
  • Abdominal ultrasound, obstetrics and gynecology (basic and advanced protocols).
  • Internal quality audit and report standardization.

  • Duplex/Color Evaluation of Venous Insufficiency — Gulfcoast, 2021.
  • Best of Echo Florida, 2022.
  • Adult Echocardiography — Gulfcoast, 2022.
  • OB/GYN Ultrasound Registry Review — Gulfcoast, 2022.
  • Advanced Echo — ASE Learning Hub, 2023.
  • Destination + Livestream Courses — Mayo Clinic, 2023.

  • SVM Comprehensive Review of Vascular Ultrasound, 2023.
The programs listed are completed courses and reviews. We deliberately do not claim certificates that the course does not formally award.

Memberships and roles

  • Member of AIUM (The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine).
  • President of the Eurasian Association of Ultrasound and Functional Diagnostics Specialists.

Teaching approach

  • Only validated protocols and clear if/then algorithms.
  • Plenty of demonstrations and analysis of real cases.
  • Measurement checklists and report templates ready for audit.
  • A clear link between «criterion → clinical decision» so that your reports are accepted at the MDT without questions.

What participants gain

  • A working system: what to measure, how to index, how to formulate conclusions.
  • A materials package: checklists, normal-value tables, report templates.
  • Feedback and support in the chat.
