Introduction to Adult Echocardiography Online Course is designed as a comprehensive program relating to performing and interpreting an adult echocardiography examination based on ASE practice guidelines. This interactive, online course is divided into twenty (20) modules and includes online video lectures, case presentations, and post-activity quizzes PLUS a bonus module featuring a complete echo scan demonstration.
Objectives
- Increase the participant’s knowledge to better perform and/or interpret Echocardiography examinations.
- Describe proper transducer manipulation and system optimization to produce diagnostic images (sonographer) and recognize potential imaging errors (Physician).
- State routine scan protocols to evaluate an adult patient using 2D/M-Mode/Color Flow & Doppler echocardiographic techniques.
- List standard 2D, m-mode and Doppler measurements
- Identify normal/abnormal characteristics of 2D cardiac anatomy.
- State the role of cardiac Doppler and list the necessary qualitative/quantitative measurements.
- Identify the ultrasound findings associated with valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathies, ischemic heart disease, prosthetic valves, and pericardial disease.
- List the latest imaging techniques in quantification of right and left ventricle wall motion.
- Document findings and apply standardized guidelines during compilation of an Echocardiography worksheet (sonographer) and dictated report (Physician).
- List the steps necessary for system optimization when utilizing image enhancing agents.
- Increase confidence to incorporate protocols, techniques & interpretation criteria to improve diagnostic/treatment accuracy.
