Training activity information
Details
Identify, analyse and interpret the normal anatomy and haemodynamics of the lower limb arteries (fem pop segment only) in a range of patients using:
- Spectral Doppler
- Colour
- B mode
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
- Troubleshooting
- Physiology, histology and pathology of the lower limb arteries
- Impact of disease on Doppler spectrum, colour spectral and B mode
- Artifact causes and corrections
- Limitations and pitfalls
- Consequences of misdiagnosis
