MRS 527: Echocardiography Imaging

This course will cover the cardiac structure, function, pathophysiology and scanning techniques at an advanced level. During this unit students will progress through standard heart views to focus on the ultrasound appearance and Doppler haemodynamics of congenital and acquired cardiac abnormalities and common syndromes. Students will develop the ability to recognise fetal arrhythmias. Students will acquire knowledge of advanced imaging techniques tailored to echocardiography including spatio-temporal imaging correlation (STIC), 3 / 4-D colour Doppler, tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and some common cardiac physiological measurements.
