Who Should Attend:
This course, with an additional optional hands-on Saturday
morning session, serves as a comprehensive review for the practicing clinician
Program Description:
 This
three-day program provides a more in-depth coverage of ultrasound applications in
obstetrics and gynecology. Approximately three-quarters of the program
is devoted to obstetrics and the remainder to gynecology.
Practicing clinicians and sonographers will be able to refresh their
knowledge in gynecological areas such as the post-menopausal uterus, endometrial
disorders, adnexal masses, transvaginal imaging and obstetrics including problem
solving with obstetrical measurements, exposure to Doppler in Ob/Gyn, bioeffects and invasive procedures.
Lecture topics:
A typical course schedule includes presentations on:
|
Physics and Instrumentation and Bioeffects in Ob/Gyn Ultrasound |
|
Obstetrical Measurements Workshop |
|
Normal Pelvic Anatomy and Anatomic Variants |
|
Doppler Applications in Obstetrics and Gynecology |
