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

Relevant learning outcomes
