SVU Special Vascular Laboratory
Testing and Management Course

This one day course is being presented by expert educators in the vascular ultrasound field and is a collaborative SVU/SVS event that precedes the 2007 Vascular Annual Meeting in Baltimore, MD.

The SVU 2007 Annual Conference starts the next day (June 7) through Saturday, June 9. The program is divided into three sections, encompassing Vascular Laboratory Management, Evaluation of Endovascular Interventions, and Screening for Vascular Disease. Panel discussion segments are included at the completion of each section to provide valuable interaction between the faculty and the course participants regarding these pivotal issues in today’s Vascular Laboratory.
