CVS-203L Cardiac/Vascular Scanning Lab III (Fall 2024)
Course Description:
This lab builds upon Adult Cardiac Scanning Lab II and Vascular scanning lab II. You will continue to use hands-on training to improve echocardiographic 2-D scanning techniques, patient positioning, transducer placement, image optimization and exam speed. In addition, you will become familiar with techniques to perform stress echocardiography and Strain echocardiography. More advanced vascular scanning exams will also be incorporated. Emphasis will also be placed on prevention of musculoskeletal injuries (MSI).
