Carotid Ultrasound MasterClass
Imaging Fundamentals
What you will learn
In this chapter, we dive deeper into the topic of imaging vessels with ultrasound. You will learn which transducer to use (and why this one), how to deal with artifacts, and get to know terms such as angle of insonation and aliasing. Our experts also show you what to be mindful of when using different forms of Doppler ultrasound, and what Doppler imaging actually is, physically.
