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.
