Blood clots are often silent, but the damage they cause is not. Ultrasound is one of the most accurate and lifesaving tools for detecting dangerous clots early, yet many patients never receive one.
Why? Symptoms can be dismissed. Risk factors are overlooked. And patients often don’t know they can — and should — advocate for this critical scan.
We’re thrilled to welcome Julie Cardoso, CEO of Universal Ultrasound, who will walk us through how to navigate the ultrasound process and understand this essential diagnostic tool. Julie will break down what happens during an ultrasound, what technicians look for, how clots show up on imaging, and how to make sure you or a loved one gets evaluated when it matters.
You’ll learn:
- How ultrasound identifies blood clots and why it’s the gold standard for diagnosis
- Why patients are sometimes denied or delayed an ultrasound and how to push past common barriers
- Exactly how to advocate for yourself when you suspect a blood clot
- What ultrasound technicians are trained to look for and how the imaging process works
- How timely diagnosis can prevent life-threatening complications
- How to protect not just yourself, but your family and loved ones
Who should attend? Anyone who has experienced leg pain or swelling, has a history of clots, is at increased risk, or simply wants to be an informed patient and a strong advocate for the people they care about.
