Description:
Echo contrast/imaging agents are a recommended tool to further identify endocardial definition and, therefore, help mitigate struggles that a Sonographer might face. This presentation will include an overview of optimization methods for imaging agents, challenges one might face while utilizing imaging agents, and how to reconcile these problems quickly. Lastly, examples will also cover off-label uses for imaging agents. (Approved for 1 SDMS CME credit)
Course Objectives: Upon completion of this educational activity, the participant will be able to:
Describe the composition and safety of specific ultrasound-enhancing agents
Describe effective 2D optimization techniques
Identify off-label uses of imaging agents and when mitigation techniques can be applied
State the acoustic behavior of ultrasound-enhancing agents
Identify how to “work” the bubble utilizing machine knobology
