Register What you will learn Course description: Advances in echocardiography have expanded the methods for assessing the cardiac chambers. Measuring simple two-dimensional distances are no longer sufficient. Volumes and multidimensional motion provide clinicians important data in the treatment of heart disease. This course will expand the sonographers knowledge and give them an understanding of what the clinical impact of these measurements can be. Educational material will be presented in the form of lectures and case presentations. This one-day program follows the recommendation for chamber quantification as outlined in various standards and guidelines. Examples of correct and incorrect measurements will be shown, describing what comprises a good quality measurement and why another is poor. This program also includes Interactive presentations with Philips clinical education staff provide a comprehensive review of cardiac system controls and setups. This course is intended for anyone who requires additional ultrasound knowledge. Prerequisite skills: A thorough knowledge and understanding of 2D echocardiography is recommended for this program. Currency: USDCourse objectives: Upon completion of this program, attendees should be able to: Describe standardized views and nomenclature Identify methods for quantification of the left and right ventricle's size and function Explain atrial size and function Discuss methods for measurement of left ventricular diastolic function Identify the ergonomic, basic and advanced system features Describe system controls that enhance image quality for cardiac exams Course details Course Code: CV220CDelivery method: Instructor-led Language: English Duration: 1 Day Course instructor(s) : Philips InstructorCourse disclaimer: The content is for information and education only.
