Strain imaging in echocardiography

Strain imaging in echocardiography

As pioneers in the field of strain imaging, our tools have been transformational in supporting healthcare professionals from research to clinical routine. We are passionate about sharing knowledge by providing educational content that will help improve skills and techniques to ultimately increase diagnostic confidence in daily practice.

The first curriculum is composed of ten episodes, starting from basics and pitfalls, followed by dedicated sessions with a variety of clinical use cases. Each session is divided in 2 sections: a presentation of the topic and then discussions between renowned key opinion leaders who will share their experience as well as tips and tricks.

We will release one episode per month.
