Foundational Ultrasound Principles
ULTRASOUND TESTS
Master the fundamentals and advanced techniques of ultrasound with our comprehensive training course..
Contents INFO
An educational program aimed at enhancing ultrasound knowledge and
hands-on skills for healthcare professionals, with a focus on specific anatomical
and pathological areas, ensuring practical and theoretical improvement in
ultrasound diagnostics. To upskilling the ultrasound technique for all ultrasound
worker.
Methodology
- Lectures: Didactic sessions covering theoretical aspects and ultrasound guidelines for speci c organ systems and pathologies.
- Hands-on Sessions: Practical demonstrations and guided scanning to improve technical and interpretive skills.
- Interactive Case Discussions: Real-life cases to reinforce learning and application of knowledge.
- Quizzes: To assess understanding and reinforce key learning objectives.
OBJECTIVE:
- To provide comprehensive knowledge and practical
skills in various ultrasound assessments.
- To ensure understanding and practical implementation
classification and other ultrasound protocols.
- To foster condence in identifying normal and variant
anatomical structures and scanning techniques.
Participants will be better equipped to:
- Perform high-quality scans, improving diagnostic accuracy.
- Condently handle the ultrasound machine and probes.
- Interpret ultrasound ndings and decide when further action is
necessary, such as biopsies.
Program Outline
Thyroid Upskilling Scan and TI-RADS Classification
- a. Lecture Content:
- 1. History of Ultrasound A brief introduction to the evolution of ultrasound technology over the last few decades, from A-mode to modern high-resolution real-time imaging.
- 2. Ultrasound Knobology and Probe Features Overview of key controls (gain, depth, frequency, focus) and probe types, speci cally the high-frequency linear probe used for thyroid scans.
- 4. TI-RADS for Thyroid Nodule Characteristics Explanation of the TI-RADS scoring system, its importance in categorizing thyroid nodules, and criteria such as composition, echogenicity, margins, and calci cations. (Detailed review with examples of benign vs suspicious nodules)
- 5. Case Discussions Review of real-life cases highlighting various TI-RADS scores, decisions on follow-ups, and biopsies.
b. Hands-on Sessions:
- 1. Handling the Ultrasound Machine How to e ciently handle the ultrasound system, set up the probe, adjust machine settings for optimal image quality, and navigate di erent modes such as Doppler. (Maximum 150 words)
- 2. Thyroid Protocol Step-by-step guide to performing a thorough thyroid scan, including patient positioning, scanning planes (transverse and longitudinal), and ensuring clear imaging of the isthmus and lobes. (Maximum 150 words)
- 3. Scanning Technique Explanation of proper scanning techniques for thyroid nodules, emphasizing slow, systematic scanning to identify smaller nodules and suspicious areas. (Maximum 150 words)
- 4. Normal Neck Component Appearance Sonographic characteristics of normal neck structures, including lymph nodes, thyroid gland, blood vessels, and anatomic landmarks used in lymph node mapping for surgical planning. (Maximum 250 words)
Additional Considerations:
- Audience: Radiologists, sonographers, Residents, physicians, medical trainees, nursing and Allied health workers interested in advanced ultrasound diagnostics.
- CME Credits: Ensure the program is accredited for Continuing Medical Education (CME) points to attract more healthcare professionals.
- Accredited certi cate from medical authorized organization.
- Online Attendance: Live-streaming options with interactive features for remote learners.
- Marketing: Advertise via hospital newsletters, medical forums, social media, and partnerships with ultrasound equipment providers.
