Training activity information
Details
Investigate the effects of user selectable parameters applied during scanning on the resulting image quality, contrast, resolution and safety indices for a range of routine US B-mode pre-sets
Type
Developmental training activity (DTA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee​.
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
- User selectable parameters: gain, depth, dynamic range, time gain compensation (TGC), zoom (focal number and position, harmonic imaging, output, transmit frequency and post processing
- Safety indices and guidelines
