MEETING DESCRIPTION:
ABOUT THE MEETING

This symposium is structured as a practical, clinically oriented review of ultrasound. A mix of ob-gyn, body, musculoskeletal, pediatric and vascular lectures are included so registrants can expand their clinical practices. Tips, protocols, and pitfalls provide balance to the program. Faculty have been selected for their teaching ability, as well as for their expertise.

TARGET AUDIENCE

This course should benefit those who order, perform, and interpret clinical ultrasound studies. It should be particularly valuable for diagnostic imaging physicians, ob-gyn physicians, vascular surgeons, and referring physicians who utilize ultrasound to evaluate the clinical status of their patients. The symposium should also be valuable for sonographers who perform these procedures.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

Attendees should, at the completion of this course, be able to:

Assess new developments in evaluating obstetrical and gynecological patients
Utilize ultrasound to assess patients with a variety of abdominal and pelvic disorders
Evaluate patients for thyroid and parathyroid disease using ultrasound imaging techniques
Expand their clinical protocols for evaluating the vascular system
Discuss the use of ultrasound in evaluation of the kidneys and urinary tract
Incorporate state of the art imaging techniques for evaluation of breast cancer into clinical practice
Discuss the clinical application of ultrasound imaging to evaluate the musculoskeletal system
No special educational preparation is required for this CME activity.
