Training activity information
Details
Identify a range of B-mode and doppler ultrasound artefacts and their causes. Demonstrate how the choice of control settings and transducer manipulation can reduce or eliminate them where necessary
Type
Developmental training activity (DTA)
Evidence requirements

Reflection on the activity at one or more time points after the event including learning from the activity and/or areas of the trainees practice for development.
An action plan to implement learning and/or to address skills or knowledge gaps identified.
Considerations
- Ultrasound artefacts that may hinder and aid clinical diagnosis
- Limitations of imaging vs system fault artefacts
