Blood clots are often silent — but the damage isn’t.
Ultrasound is one of the most accurate and lifesaving tools for detecting dangerous clots early, yet many patients never receive one. Why? Symptoms get dismissed. Risk factors are overlooked. And many people don’t realize they can — and should — advocate for this critical scan.

In this session, you’ll learn:
• How ultrasound identifies blood clots and why it’s the gold-standard diagnostic tool
• Why some patients are denied or delayed an ultrasound — and how to overcome common barriers
• How to advocate for yourself if you suspect a clot
• What ultrasound technicians are trained to look for
• How timely diagnosis prevents life-threatening complications
• Steps to protect yourself and the people you care about

Who should attend?
Anyone who has experienced leg pain or swelling, has a history of clots, is at increased risk, or wants to be a more informed and empowered patient.
