Training activity information
Details
Identify and minimise artefacts caused by pathology during extracranial artery ultrasound scans using:
- B Mode image
- Colour Doppler
- The spectral Doppler
Type
Entrustable training activity (ETA)
Evidence requirements
Evidence the activity has been undertaken by the trainee repeatedly, consistently, and effectively over time, in a range of situations. This may include occasions where the trainee has not successfully achieved the outcome of the activity themselves. For example, because it was not appropriate to undertake the task in the circumstances or the trainees recognised their own limitations and sought help or advice to ensure the activity reached an appropriate conclusion.
Reflection at multiple timepoints on the trainee learning journey for this activity.
Considerations
- Patient centred care and support
- Artifact causes and corrections
- Imaging controls and optimisation
- Quality assurance
- pathophysiology
- Ultrasound physics
