DMSU 207 Echocardiography II Lab

In this course, students will focus on learning proper scan techniques, cardiac measurement, and spectral Doppler applications in the lab. There will be focused concentration toward advanced measurement utilization of M-mode, Pulsed and Continuous Wave Doppler as well as Color Doppler applications in the two-dimensional echocardiography examination of the adult heart. This laboratory course applies and expands upon the technical ultrasonic skills to the topics and concepts covered in the Echocardiography I.
