 nd require a complete and thorough understanding of the knowledge and 
 clinical skills needed to perform these important clinical procedures.
  This dynamic training course uses an integrated approach of lecture, 
 demonstrations, and hands-on scanning experience with models to accomp
 lish those training goals in a comprehensive five day program.\nAdvanc
 ed Health Education Center training model for skills classes follows a
  systematic approach of presenting a concise review of ultrasound phys
 ics and instrumentation followed by a sequential introduction of the a
 bdominal systems with anatomy and vasculature. Case studies and ultras
 ound images are used to demonstrate the correlation of ultrasound appe
 arance of normal versus abnormal tissues. The afternoon hands on scann
 ing labs reinforce the knowledge acquired in the lecture setting with 
 the necessary clinical skills to acquire and maximize a diagnostic ima
 ge. By the conclusion of the training course participants have acquire
 d the knowledge and skill required to a complete upper abdomen and sma
 ll parts protocol. A variety of ultrasound equipment is available in t
 he scan lab. A complete two-week program can be accomplished with this
  course followed by the five day OB/GYN Ultrasound course.\nObjectives
  At the completion of this course, the learner will be able to: • Ut
 ilize the principles of instrumentation to set up ultrasound equipment
  for scanning. • Recognize and identify the organ systems of the abd
 omen on an ultrasound image. • Perform basic ultrasound procedures o
 n the abdomen patient. • Understand and identify pathological varian
 ts and their influence in the ultrasound procedure. • Follow the seq
 uence of an abdominal ultrasound procedure from the beginning to its c
 onclusion.\nCourse Topics • Ultrasound Physics and Instrumentation �
