REPRESENTATIVE CASE STUDY REQUIREMENTS

ADULT TRANSTHORACIC

ADULT STRESS

ADULT TRANSESOPHAGEAL

PEDIATRIC TRANSTHORACIC

PEDIATRIC TRANSESOPHAGEAL

FETAL

MULTIPLE SITE APPLICATIONS

The purpose of reviewing representative cases is to evaluate the interpretative and technical quality of the laboratory as a whole. Because this aspect of the application carries a significant weight in the final decision, extreme care should be used in selecting only the laboratory's best work. All of the details of the cardiac anatomy should be visualized adequately. It is understood that technical limitations will occasionally limit the sonographer's ability to adequately define cardiac structures and visualize the myocardium when performing transthoracic echocardiograms; however, the representative transthoracic cases submitted for review should demonstrate all appropriate views of the laboratory's protocol and be of above-average examination quality. All cases must be complete examinations and not limited or follow-up exams.

REMINDER: Submit entire application, including case studies, in duplicate.
