MAY 19 - 23, 2008
INTRODUCTION TO 2D/M-MODE ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY AND CARDIAC DOPPLER/COLOR FLOW IMAGING COURSE - A HANDS-ON COURSE FOR PHYSICIANS & SONOGRAPHERS. Provided by Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute for Continuing Medical Education, St. Pete Beach, FL. At the completion of the program the participant should be able to: identify and analyze the basics of cardiac anatomy/physiology; perform a routine 2D/M-Mode/Doppler (pulsed-wave, continuous wave and Color Flow imaging) echocardiographic examination and appropriate measurements; identify normal/abnormal characteristics of 2D cardiac anatomy and explain the role of cardiac Doppler and the necessary qualitative/quantitative measurements; discuss the ultrasound findings associated with valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathies, ischemic heart disease (CAD), pericardial disease and cardiac masses; assess cardiac Doppler/color indications, applications, normal/abnormal waveform characteristics, Doppler measurements and color characteristics in the adult patient; apply the information discussed in a clinical setting, under supervised conditions, until an accepted level of proficiency has been achieved; increase knowledge and confidence to perform and/or interpret examinations. 40 AMA PRA Category I credits. To register or for more information, visit Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute at www.gcus.com or call 800-619-1900 or 727-363-4500.
