2012 marks the 15th anniversary of Pacific Vascular Inc. (PVI)’s educational division, Pacific Vascular Institute for Continuing Medical Education (PVICME). PVI is passionate about patient care and the field of non-invasive diagnosis of vascular disease. Our courses are designed for physicians, sonographers, technologists, and other related healthcare professionals to learn the concepts of vascular ultrasound and how to apply them to diagnosis. It is our goal for all learners to embrace this information and ultimately to give all learners the knowledge, resources, and confidence to excel in this field.

We value our opportunities to improve patient care around the globe through our educational courses as well as our online and DVD based educational activities. For these reasons and more, we are very excited to celebrate this milestone and we look forward to sharing our experience for another 15 years!

When the going gets tough and you are unable to see what you need to see, don't hang out in the same spot. Try a different window, higher, lower, left or right. Don't forget the wonderful views available from posterior approaches, the coronal line and the flank.

Abdominal tip

One of your best tools is going to be the ability to use various views. Remember that turning the patient on their side can provide several benefits; some structures, as the kidneys, liver and spleen can be seen better from the side. Often, a side view will put deep structures closer and therefore easier to see. And maybe best of all, you will be able to avoid much or all of those pesky gas bubbles.
