The document outlines the components of a normal echocardiogram, including principal transducer positions, echo views, and heart structures. It details various scanning maneuvers such as sliding, rocking, rotating, angling, tilting, and sweeping to effectively capture heart anatomy. The learning outcome is to identify heart structures through these echocardiographic techniques.
