Description
Objectives
Description
This comprehensive course in musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging offers a deep dive into assessing various anatomical regions. Participants explore techniques and pathology in the elbow, forearm, wrist, hand, fingers, and thumb. Through live demonstrations, hands-on practice on live models, and interactive discussions, specialists gain expertise in accurate identification of structures, refining skills from fundamentals to advanced applications across these critical areas of assessment.
Objectives
Through lectures and practical interactive sessions, participants will be able to use ultrasound as a tool to DIAGNOSE:
- Distinguish and identify anatomical landmarks, normal anatomy, anatomical variants, and pathologies.
- Interpret and differentiate sonographic apprearances of normal anatomy, anatomical variants, and pathologies.
- Acquire scanning techniques to dynamically assess and obtain ultrasound images of relevant anatomy.
- Generate and optimise ultrasound images using appropriate machine controls, settings, and transducer selection.
- Navigate ultrasound artifacts.
- Outline key clinical questions to determine most likely and differential diagnoses.
- Synthesise sonographic appearances of pathologies with patient presentation into clinical management decisions.
- Evaluate and assess progress through case-based discussions.
