Insights
Vascular medicine physicians have diagnostic autonomy, using non-invasive tests like Doppler ultrasound. This allows immediate correlation of clinical data with imaging for personalized patient care.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Medicine
- Diagnostic Imaging
- Medical Education
Abstract:
Vascular medicine is a multidisciplinary specialty that has been recognized since 2017 through a postgraduate diploma (DES). It is distinguished in particular by the diagnostic autonomy granted to the vascular physician, who prescribes, performs, and interprets functional tests. These include a range of non-invasive examinations, foremost among which is Doppler ultrasound. The major advantage of vascular medicine lies in the immediate correlation between clinical data and imaging, thanks to specific ultrasound training integrated into the DES. Functional tests thus represent an essential asset in the practice of vascular medicine, offering an integrated, dynamic, and personalized approach to patient care.
