ULTRASOUND SOLUTIONS CORP. is pleased to present Steve Walling, BS, ACS, RCS, RDCS, FASE Director and Clinical Coordinator at the School of Cardiovascular Technology, Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center, at the Hoffman Heart and Vascular Institute, for an illuminating session on 3-Dimensional Echocardiography.
Course Description
Three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) is not a new modality, but may be new to some labs as they upgrade their equipment. Not only is 3DE an essential tool for the Echocardiographer, but it is becoming more and more routine in the Echocardiography Lab. Understanding the application of this diagnostic tool becomes extremely important for the evaluation of structural heart cases, which is considered by many to be the future of echocardiography.
