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.
