The 4th Annual Advanced Imaging Techniques Virtual Experience will be held September 7-8, 2024, and feature a clinically applicable program aimed at the sonographer/practitioner directly involved in advanced echo imaging. A total of 6 CME credits will be available. Register here!
Created by course directors Tony Forshaw, M Cardiac Ultrasound, B Ex Sci, AMS (Cardiac), FASE and Cody Frye, BA, RDCS, FASE the course will focus on the practical how-to techniques of advanced Strain, Contrast, & 3D Imaging. Improved software packages have resulted in increasing clinical application of these techniques, with 3D and Strain included as part of the routine echocardiographic examination. A strong emphasis will be placed on practical aspects of data acquisition and analysis of raw datasets. This is an exciting, clinically applicable program aimed at the sonographer/practitioner directly involved in advanced echo imaging.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize the clinical application of advanced echo imaging techniques.
- Describe the basic principles around strain imaging.
- Improve acquisition of quality 3D datasets
- Identify imaging pitfalls affecting acquisition of speckle tracking datasets
- Perform 3D analysis to assess the left ventricle, right ventricle, & mitral valve during structural interventions
- Perform strain imaging analysis to assess the left ventricle, right ventricle, & atria.
