Advanced Vascular Month

Advanced Vascular Month

In partnership with British Medical Ultrasound Society (BMUS), Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (SDMS) and Sonography Canada

This June, the ASA is proud to collaborate with BMUS, SDMS and Sonography Canada to highlight the important role of vascular ultrasound in modern healthcare. As a highly specialised imaging modality, vascular ultrasound provides real time assessment of the body’s arterial and venous systems, supporting the diagnosis, monitoring and management of a wide range of vascular conditions.

Vascular sonographers combine advanced technical expertise with a strong understanding of anatomy, haemodynamics and pathology. Their ability to perform detailed Doppler assessments, interpret complex flow patterns and adapt examinations to challenging clinical presentations is essential in delivering accurate, patient centred care.

A curated collection of educational resources is now available, including journal articles, webinars, podcasts and interactive learning modules designed to support your continued professional development and celebrate the advanced capabilities of vascular sonography.
