DMSD 2261 — - Echocardiography II
This course expands on the material presented in Echocardiography I and continues to provide students with the knowledge necessary to capably perform a complete and diagnostic echocardiographic examinations using M-mode, 2-dimensional Doppler and color Doppler modalities. More complex anatomy and abnormal pathology will be addressed. Scanning techniques, specific protocols and echocardiographic findings will be discussed in relation to these more complex abnormalities including PLAX, RVIT, RVOT, PSAX views. The development of the ability to perform examinations in these areas will occur with classroom experience. using real-time equipment with transthoracic transducers and Doppler and color Doppler display modes. Bioeffects, ALARA principle, pertinent in- vitro studies, exposure display indices and maximum safe levels will be incorporated into the didactic and laboratory classes. Lecture: 3 hours, Lab: 2 hours Prerequisite(s): DMSD 2260 2026-04-03 11:43:06
