Imaging, Preprocessing

Training in imaging and preprocessing for endovascular surgery is essential in this rapidly evolving field. Precise analysis and measurements are key and optimizes procedural planning and therefore proper device selection and strategic procedure planning. Training includes recognizing potential complications that can be identified through imaging, such as dissections, perforations, or thrombosis following endovascular interventions. As technology advances, ongoing education in imaging modalities and preprocessing methods will remain integral to the practice of endovascular surgery.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound training is essential for vascular surgeons as it not only enhances their diagnostic and procedural capabilities but also improves patient care and outcomes. By integrating ultrasound into their practice, vascular surgeons can offer comprehensive, accurate, and timely evaluations and interventions, ultimately leading to improved management of vascular diseases.
