4D TTE AND 4D TEE THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL COURSE WITH LIVE SCANNING AND HANDS-ON SESSIONS ON WORKSTATIONS

Course Overview

A basic and advanced interactive course about 4D echocardiography using different imaging scanners, and workstations to foster the implementation of 4D echocardiography imaging in the daily routine of the echo labs.
This course includes both live scanning sessions with models and expert guided hands-on sessions on workstations.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the added value of 4D echocardiography to assess the anatomy and the pathophysiology of the various heart diseases and be able to incorporate its use in the daily practice of the echo lab
• Integrate 4D echocardiography information in the clinical decision making
• Assess cardiac chamber geometry and function using 4D echocardiography
• Use 4D echocardiography to perform quantitative analysis of heart valve morphology and function
• Define the most important clinical uses of 4D TTE and TEE
• Understand the role of 4D echocardiography in structural heart disease interventions
• Recognize the role of 4D echocardiography to assess the most common congenital heart defects

Who Should Attend?

This activity is designed for cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, interventional cardiologists, anesthesiologists, sonographers, who require advanced training in 4D TTE and 4D TEE, and for those who want to understand the added value of 4D echocardiography to assess the anatomy and the pathophysiology of various heart diseases to plan surgical and interventional procedures.
