Consulting Services
For the Practitioner:
Advanced Ultrasound Consultants
provides detailed consulting services locally as well as nationally to physicians and other practitioners involved in the
diagnosis and treatment of venous disease.
Advanced Ultrasound Consultants provides complete practice direction from
purchasing ultrasound equipment, laser and/or radiofrequency generator aquisition, setting
up the office suite for vein therapy procedures, optimizing sonographer potential, implementing
protocols, policies and procedures and all necessary worksheets needed for a successful practice performing Radiofrequency,
Laser and Ultrasound Guided Sclerotherapy. Advanced Ultrasound Consultants provides unique comprehensive assistance
with ultrasound guided vein therapy procedures (Radiofrequency and Laser thermoablation, perforator closure, ultrasound
guided sclerotherapy) to physicians that are incorporating and/or providing vein therapy in their practice. From setting up the case, including sterile preparation of the patient and table set-up,
Advanced Ultrasound Consultants strives to optimize physician time to minimize down-time and increase revenue.
For the Sonographer:
Advanced Ultrasound Consultants
provides detailed venous insufficiency ultrasound exams and offers "on-site"
sonographer training with in-depth instruction in pre-treatment duplex evaluations. The use of ultrasound to assist in vein
(GSV/LSV/Perforator) thermoablation differs vastly from traditional scanning. Not only is the superficial systems an
intricate system in itself, the scanning nuances of vein therapy assistance are difficult. From identifying
"new" landmarks we are not used to, to proper guidance for the physician's vein access, perivenous tumescent
and catheter / laser guidance and manipulation. With over 3000 assisted thermoablation
cases, Doug Marcum and Advanced Ultrasound Consultants can provide you with the "tricks-of-the-trade" necessary
to assure successful ultrasound assistance.
Advanced Ultrasound Consultants also conducts a continuous Vein Therapy Workshop in the greater Orlando area with
an emphasis on providing continuing education and training to physicians, sonographers, physician assistants, and nurse
practitioners with hands-on-training in evaluating, diagnosing, and "mapping" of venous insufficiency in the
deep, superficial, perforating and varicose veins.
