SUMMARY:Breast Ultrasound
DESCRIPTION:The importance of ultrasound as an adjunct procedure to ma
 mmography is well documented. The normal anatomy, physiology, and path
 ologic conditions evaluated by ultrasound will be the basis of this ed
 ucational activity. The increased utilization of breast ultrasound req
 uires clinicians to integrate the fundamentals of sonography and mammo
 graphy to enhance the value of breast ultrasound. The course combines 
 classroom learning with practical hands-on scanning to maximize the le
 arning experience. Ultrasound-guided interventional procedures and exa
 mination of breast implants will be discussed. Case studies will be ut
 ilized to correlate the mammogram with the breast ultrasound, and to r
 ecognize breast ultrasound artifacts.\nObjectives\nAt the completion o
 f this course, the learner will be able to:\n\nDescribe the role of br
 east ultrasound as an adjunct to mammography in the evaluation of brea
 st disease\nIdentify and display appropriate normal anatomy and orient
 ation in the ultrasound field of view\nDescribe basic scanning protoco
 ls\nCorrelate areas of suspicion on the ultrasound and mammogram\nDemo
 nstrate a working knowledge of the equipment knobology\nChoose the cor
 rect transducer for the ultrasound examination\nSuccessfully complete 
 a basic breast ultrasound examination following correct patient prepar
 ation and procedure protocols\nIdentify breast ultrasound artifacts an
 d methods utilized to reduce their occurrence\nBe able to identify sou
 rces and research reference materials for additional information on br
 east ultrasound\n\nCourse Topics\nDay 1\n\nWhy breast ultrasound? adva
