SUMMARY:Introduction to Abdominal and Primary Care Ultrasound
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Abdominal and Primary Care Ultrasound\nThe
  Introduction to Abdominal & Primary Care Ultrasound training course i
 s taught by leading experts and covers abdominal, trauma, thyroid, scr
 otal, and soft-tissue applications. This unique course incorporates co
 mprehensive lectures, interactive case presentations, and extensive ha
 nds-on scanning, featuring a 3:1 ratio with live models and inanimate 
 phantoms.\nObjectives\n\nIncrease participant’s knowledge to better 
 perform and/or interpret abdominal ultrasound examinations.\nDemonstra
 te proper transducer manipulation and system optimization to produce d
 iagnostic images.\nPerform scan protocols and routine measurements tha
 t are utilized during an abdominal ultrasound evaluation.\nIdentify no
 rmal/abnormal imaging characteristics of the liver, gallbladder, pancr
 eas, spleen, kidneys and abdominal vasculature.\nCite Doppler/color ph
 ysics principles and be able to (sonographers) apply these principles 
 to optimize system controls or (physicians) utilize this information f
 or identifying technical errors which may result in misdiagnosis (opti
 onal lecture).\nDemonstrate routine examination protocols associated w
 ith the ultrasound evaluation of renal artery stenosis (optional lectu
 re).\nDifferentiate normal/abnormal characteristics for the evaluation
  of the thyroid, testes/scrotum, and appendix.\nPerform ultrasound eva
 luation of the trauma patient (FAST exam).\nDemonstrate the use of ult
 rasound for evaluation of soft-tissue pathology.\nIncrease confidence 
 to incorporate protocols, scan techniques & interpretation criteria to
  improve diagnostic/treatment accuracy.\n\n\n\nTopics\n\nImaging Funda
