  • Why do you include 'The Fundamentals of Ultrasound System Controls and Image Optimisation' as part of a bundle option for some of your courses?

    We have decades of experience in both performing and teaching clinical ultrasound to multidisciplinary colleagues. We KNOW how critical it is to your diagnostic confidence and capabilities, that you fully understand how to drive an ultrasound system before you start to scan patients. Since ultrasound is THE most operator-dependent form of imaging, you need to maximise your chances of reaching the correct clinical impression each time you scan. By having a sound appreciation of the underpinning knowledge of your ultrasound system function and controls, you can support optimum patient outcomes.

    If there isn't a bundle option for your chosen course, then basic ultrasound instrumentation and image optimisation will already be included in the video learning package!
