Competency information

Details

Manipulate an ultrasound probe to acquire Doppler spectra from images of arteries and veins in longitudinal and transverse cross-sections.

Considerations

  • Fundamental scientific principles of spectral Doppler imaging and spectral analysis.
  • Application of spectral Doppler ultrasound in the measurement of artery and vein haemodynamics.

Relevant learning outcomes

# Outcome
# 3 Outcome Acquire an optimised Doppler spectrum and evaluate the characteristic features of a normal and diseased artery and a vein on a Doppler spectrum with both imaging and non-imaging instrumentation.
