The Basic Varicose Veins Workshop was a one-day introductory course that offered participants a thorough theoretical and practical understanding of venous ultrasound. The day began with sessions on the fundamentals of ultrasound imaging, including image optimization and color Doppler techniques, followed by hands-on practice to help participants become familiar with the ultrasound machine and its knobology.

After a short break, the workshop focused on the anatomy of the superficial and deep venous systems, emphasizing detailed vein mapping techniques. The following session explored varicoses—its common causes, pathophysiology, and available treatment options—providing participants with both a conceptual and clinical foundation.

The day concluded with an extensive practical session, allowing attendees to apply the learned principles through guided hands-on scanning and mapping of lower limb veins.
