Summary
What you’ll be able to do
Describe ultrasound physics and how these physical principles create opportunities, limitations, and artifacts in clinical imaging.
Operate ultrasound machines, and acquire and archive different types of ultrasound images (grayscale, color Doppler, and spectral Doppler).
Explain anatomy and physiology as presented in ultrasound images.
Become proficient in performing and interpreting ultrasound examinations, including basic abdomen, female pelvis, lower extremity arterial/venous, aorta, FAST scan for trauma, basic echocardiography, lung, thyroid/anterior neck, and musculoskeletal (muscle, tendon).
Correlate normal and pathologic findings from ultrasound examinations with expected findings from the physical examination. Explain how these techniques complement each other.
Identify how ultrasound techniques can be used to solve particular clinical problems.
Summarize how the ultrasound examination can be modified to answer unresolved questions.
