Ideal combination of theory and hands-on experience
The DEGUM (German Society for Ultrasound in Medicine) defines clear guidelines for the organisation and certification of echocardiography courses. The courses at the Echocardiography Academy comply with these guidelines and are certified by DEGUM. This means that they meet the highest standards in terms of training and qualification.
Echocardiography is not only an indispensable basic diagnostic tool in clinical routine, but is also essential in therapy planning and implementation, particularly in the area of structural heart disease.
Deformation analysis using speckle tracking has been an important tool in myocardial function analysis for years.
It is no longer limited to the evaluation of systolic longitudinal LV function, but also to the recognition of patterns in bull’s eye analysis to supplement the diagnosis of cardiomyopathies. In addition, speckle tracking can also be used to analyse the function of the complex right ventricle. Recent studies also suggest the benefits of atrial tracing. In our DEGUM Speckle Tracking Module course, we provide insights into the technique and the various applications for clinical routine. We will perform hands-on training at the workstation (2 people per workstation).
This training course is a two-day program. Find out more about the specific content here.
The training program will take place at the DHZB Academy.
