Training activity information

Details

Investigate the effects of user selectable parameters for:

  • Colour doppler imaging
  • Power doppler imaging
  • PW spectral doppler
  • CW spectral doppler

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 –
  • Colour doppler: size, position and angle of colour box, colour frequency, scale (pulse repetition frequency), baseline, colour gain, line density, depth of field
  • User selectable parameters –
  • Spectral doppler: Gate size and position, angle of insonation, doppler frequency, scale (pulse repetition frequency), doppler gain, wall filters, output power, baseline
  • Safety indices and guidelines
  • Application of spectral doppler

Relevant learning outcomes

# Outcome
# 1 Outcome

Assess the safety of the clinical application of non-ionising radiation.

# 4 Outcome

Acquire MR and ultrasound images and apply appropriate user-controllable parameters.
