Echo Masterclass: The Power of 3D Imaging

Ultrasound

Video course

by Hafiz Naderi, MBBS BMedSci (Hons) MRCP

The majority of advanced echo machines have 3D capabilities, but many clinicians don’t know how to use them. This course will decode transthoracic and transesophageal 3D echo for you. It’s packed with tips and tricks for obtaining great images that will allow you to make fast and reliable diagnoses. You can become confident in 3D echo and be one of the early adopters of this impressive technology.
