Due to recent changes in the Modular Certification Pathway in Sonography, we have temporarily paused the acceptance of new candidate applications for this module. This decision has been made to ensure that we can provide the best possible experience for our current learners and make necessary adjustments to improve the programme.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team here.
Ultrasound involves the use of high-frequency ultrasound waves to produce diagnostic-quality images. This module aims to provide you with theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the vascular ultrasound field.
The 15-week module covers a 6-day intensive “hands on” training programme that is designed for ultrasound practitioners such as radiographers or sonographers who wish to pursue a postgraduate qualification. You will develop an understanding of Doppler physics and its application and importance in vascular scanning.
Topics covered include physiology of normal circulation, the process of vascular disease and its effect on the normal circulation, the ultrasound techniques involved in scanning the cerebro-vascular system, upper and lower limb vessels, and abdominal vessels as well as less common indications for vascular ultrasound. You will also develop an insight into the role of ultrasound and other supplementary imaging tests for the diagnosis of various venous and arterial diseases.
Participants must have relevant ultrasound related experience (preferably at least 1 year of working experience as an independent sonographer).
Candidates must have the required access to a medical ultrasound facility to develop competency in the respective clinical applications. They must be actively engaged in supervised ultrasound clinical practice in the workplace for at least three days (or equivalent) per week. It is the candidate's responsibility to secure a supervised clinical arrangement in the workplace. At the end of the trimester, candidates must satisfy the clinical requirements (ie. compulsory logging the required number of ultrasound examinations in clinical portfolio and pass the clinical skills assessment).
