Training activity information
Details
Produce high-quality cardiac ultrasound images, demonstrating use of a full range of machine controls and ultrasound probes including standalone probe
Considerations
- Effect of all machine controls on the 2D image: depth, sector width, focus, TGC’s, harmonics, gain and compression/dynamic range
- Optimisation of 2D image in a challenging patient
- Consider the impact of the ECG on image acquisition
