Bold warning: blood clots can be invisible yet deadly, and ultrasound is one of the most reliable, potentially life-saving tools to catch them early — but too many patients don’t get this crucial scan.
Why does this gap exist? Symptoms are easy to downplay, risk factors can be overlooked, and many patients aren’t aware they can and should request an ultrasound when it matters.
We’re excited to have Julie Cardoso, CEO of Universal Ultrasound, share practical guidance on navigating the ultrasound process and understanding this essential diagnostic tool. Julie will simplify what happens during an ultrasound, what technicians assess, how clots appear on images, and how to ensure you or a loved one receives the evaluation when it’s needed most.
You’ll learn:
- How ultrasound detects blood clots and why it’s regarded as the gold standard for diagnosis
- Reasons ultrasounds are sometimes denied or delayed, and strategies to overcome common obstacles
- Step-by-step guidance on advocating for yourself if a blood clot is suspected
- What ultrasound technicians are trained to look for and how the imaging process works
- How prompt diagnosis can prevent life-threatening complications
- How this knowledge protects not only yourself but also your family and friends
Who should attend? Anyone experiencing leg pain or swelling, a history of clots, elevated risk, or anyone who wants to be a well-informed patient and a strong advocate for the people they care about.
