Master the fundamentals of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) with e Sono Cardiac POCUS Fundamentals Course, designed for early learners and clinicians beginning their cardiac ultrasound journey.
This course offers a hands-on cardiac simulation, step-by-step introduction to image acquisition using standard TTE views. Through structured simulation tasks and real-time feedback.
23 scanning tasks for anatomical orientation and spatial understanding
12 scanning tasks for step-by-step echocardiographic view acquisition
22 scanning tasks covering tips, tricks, and common mistakes
15 practical scanning tasks including examples of Left Ventricle (LV) dysfunction and hyperdynamic LV
Approximately 4 hours of structured, self-paced training
Course Structure
1. Anatomy & Spatial Orientation
23 guided scanning tasks to build spatial understanding of probe positioning and sonographic anatomy
Strengthen your 3D orientation using anatomical overlays and probe thumbnails for each view
2. View Acquisition – Step by Step
12 scanning tasks guiding you through systematic acquisition of the core transthoracic echocardiographic views, including Parasternal Long-Axis (PLAX), Parasternal Short-Axis (PSAX), Apical Four-Chamber (A4C), Apical Five-Chamber (A5C), Apical Two-Chamber (A2C), Apical Three-Chamber (A3C), Subcostal Four-Chamber (SC4C), Subcostal Short-Axis, and Inferior Vena Cava (IVC)
Emphasis on understanding how image formation responds to transducer angle, position, and rotation
Designed to build foundational control and familiarity with image optimization
3. Tips, Tricks & Common Pitfalls
22 scanning tasks that focus on common image acquisition mistakes and image corrections
Tasks emphasize probe manipulation — such as improving atrial visualization or avoiding foreshortening
Assist you to anticipate view transitions and troubleshoot in real time
4. PracticeExercises
15 scanning tasks that include both normal and pathological cases
Focus on key structures while encountering real-life variation
example cases of left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and hyperdynamic LV to prepare you for advanced cardiac modules
Reinforces technical skills and early interpretation with direct clinical relevance
What You Will Learn
How to acquire and optimize all core transthoracic echocardiographic views
How to recognize cardiac chambers, valves, and walls on ultrasound
How to correct common errors and improve image quality through minor probe adjustments
Basic visual interpretation skills to prepare for clinical scanning and further functional assessments
By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped to perform a focused cardiac POCUS exam independently — and ready to continue to the Advanced Cardiac POCUS Course, which focuses on left and right ventricular systolic function assessment.
