ASE-4181_Adv Imaging Techniques_1542x454_r1

About the Event

Created by course directors Cody Frye, BA, RDCS, FASE and Eric Kruse, BS, ACS, RDCS, RVT, FASE, this year’s conference is a must see and a must have reference for every lab!

This conference combines expertise from the nation’s leading sonographers to bring you live processing of 3D and Strain Data while participants interact in real time! Participants are given a step-by-step process to maximize 3D usage to evaluate valvular pathology on transthoracic and transesophageal imaging.

Learn the value of context in strain imaging, and how to ensure that your Strain values are accurate every time!

Learning Objectives

  • Recognize the clinical application of advanced echo imaging techniques
  • Describe the basic principles around strain imaging
  • Improve acquisition of quality 3D datasets
  • Identify imaging pitfalls affecting acquisition of speckle tracking datasets
  • Perform 3D analysis to assess the left ventricle, right ventricle, & mitral valve during structural interventions
  • Perform strain imaging analysis to assess the left ventricle, right ventricle, & atria.

CME Information

  • The American Society of Echocardiography is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
  • The American Society of Echocardiography designates this activity for a maximum of 6.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
  • Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine’s (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program, the American Board of Pediatrics (ABP) MOC program, and/or the American Board of Anesthesiology’s (ABA) Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology Program® or MOCA 2.0®. It is ASE’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM and ABP MOC points and/or ABA MOCA 2.0®. Physicians will earn MOC and/or MOCA 2.0 points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity.
  • ARDMS and CCI recognize ASE’s certificates and have agreed to honor the CME credit hours toward their registry requirements for sonographers.
