 ETING DESCRIPTION:\nUltrasound has been proven to allow for better det
 ection of recurrent thyroid cancer in patients with negative total bod
 y iodine scans. Fine needle aspiration biopsy of the thyroid is the on
 ly diagnostic test today allowing for differentiation of benign from c
 ancerous thyroid nodules. Thyroid ultrasound and fine needle aspiratio
 n can become an extension of laboratory results, nuclear medicine stud
 ies and physical examination of the thyroid gland. FNA used in private
  practice can reduce the cost for the evaluation and treatment of thyr
 oid nodules for patients. This six-hour course will guide Endocrinolog
 ists through the basic physics of ultrasound and transducer selection 
 needed for optimum scanning techniques. Also covered will be thyroid a
 natomy and ultrasound examination protocols. Physician attendees will 
 be taught to distinguish between cystic and solid lesions, identify mi
 cro calcifications and lesion vascularity that can assist with determi
 ning if a lesion is benign or malignant. This course will begin in the
  classroom and progress to AHEC’s in-house scan lab to utilize live 
 models for development of scanning techniques. Also provided will be h
 ands-on practice of Fine Needle Aspiration Techniques for thyroid nodu
 le assessment.\n\nCourse Topics\n• Physics and Instrumentation\n• 
 Scan Protocols\n• Transducer selection and scan orientation\n• Ana
 tomy of the normal thyroid\n• Ultrasound characteristics of both cys
 tic and solid nodules\n• Comparison of nuclear medicine studies vers
 us ultrasound findings\n• Evaluation of images\n• Hands-on scannin
 g and fine needle aspiration techniques for thyroid biopsy\n\nINSTRUCT
