COURSE OVERVIEW

A basic and advanced interactive course about 4D echocardiograpy

using GE and Philips scanners, and TomTec workstations to foster

the implementation of 4D echocardiography imaging in the daily

routine of the echo labs.

This course includes live scanning sessions with models and expert

guided hands-on sessions on workstations.
