  to allow for better detection of recurrent thyroid cancer in patients
  with negative total body iodine scans. Fine needle aspiration biopsy 
 of the thyroid is the only diagnostic test today allowing for differen
 tiation of benign from cancerous thyroid nodules. Thyroid ultrasound a
 nd fine needle aspiration can become an extension of laboratory result
 s, nuclear medicine studies and physical examination of the thyroid gl
 and. FNA used in private practice can reduce the cost for the evaluati
 on and treatment of thyroid nodules for patients. This six-hour course
  will guide Endocrinologists through the basic physics of ultrasound a
 nd transducer selection needed for optimum scanning techniques. Also c
 overed will be thyroid anatomy and ultrasound examination protocols. P
 hysician attendees will be taught to distinguish between cystic and so
 lid lesions, identify micro calcifications and lesion vascularity that
  can assist with determining if a lesion is benign or malignant. This 
 course will begin in the classroom and progress to AHEC’s in-house s
 can lab to utilize live models for development of scanning techniques.
  Also provided will be hands-on practice of Fine Needle Aspiration Tec
 hniques for thyroid nodule assessment.\n\nCourse Topics\n• Physics a
 nd Instrumentation\n• Scan Protocols\n• Transducer selection and s
 can orientation\n• Anatomy of the normal thyroid\n• Ultrasound cha
 racteristics of both cystic and solid nodules\n• Comparison of nucle
 ar medicine studies versus ultrasound findings\n• Evaluation of imag
 es\n• Hands-on scanning and fine needle aspiration techniques for th
 yroid biopsy\n\nINSTRUCTORS:\nWhelan\n\nCME HOURS: 8\n\nLECTURE TOPICS
