Ultrasound Workshop
Thursday November 27th 2008 4:30-6:30pm
in the Physics & Astronomy Building,
Room PAB 304

This hands on workshop was given by Dr. Tamie Poepping and her students on the evening of November 27th 2008. Students moved between three different stations teaching different aspects of how ultrasound works and got to measure their own carotid arteries and how to calculate the blood flow within them. They also had to measure and identify two mystery objects embedded in cryogel!

Workshop on Intracardiac Surgery.  Presentations by Dr. Doug Jones (Physiologist, UWO), Dr. Gerard Guiraudon (Cardiac Surgeon), Dr. Terry Peters (Imaging Scientist, Robarts), and Dr. Dan Bainbridge (Interventional Radiologist). This workshop was videorecorded.
