  Hands-On Transvaginal Pelvic Ultrasound Imaging






                                                                                
The Systematic and Complete Protocol for Acquisition and Analysis
Immediate Benefits
Transvaginal ultrasound is more than point-and-shoot technology; it’s a process.  This course will advance your mastery of it by months.

You’ll understand the difference in two dimensional spatial resolution between surface and intracavitary imaging.

You’ll immediately gain the critical hand-eye skills and spatial orientation to intuit your way through normal and abnormal findings.

You’ll be able to use the probe properly, as a tool for physical examination, not just imaging.

You’ll be able to intuit soft tissue abnormalities through your amplified understanding of soft tissue interaction with ultrasound.

You’ll be able to apply, optimize, and understand the use of Doppler ultrasound in both color and achromatic modes,

You’ll be able to complete a systematic, expeditionus, but thorough exam of the gravid and non gravid pelvis.

And post-conference mentoring continues in perpetuity for free.
Summary
This course will help you master it quickly by imparting and practicing a systematic protocol, for both image acquisition and data analysis.

We’ll explore the requisite theory and pertinent physics in a way that directly relates to the clinical task; we’ll discuss elements of patient safety and how to communicate potential risks effectively and clearly to the patient.

In the classroom we’ll orient you to the internal anatomy and the unique perspective intracavitary imaging uses to see it.  You’ll learn how to identify the ovaries and adnexa by direct image features and relational anatomic reference, and how to systematically differentiate all substructures with the uterus.

The systematic protocol we’ll impart will ensure you can proceed through a complete exam without overlooking any regions in the the pelvis.  Hands-on practice comprises the bulk of the course, and is conducted on live subjects.

We’ll create a matrix approach of thought to the critical analysis of pathologic findings both in class and at the bedside.

We attach it to the end of our Hands-On Pelvic/OB imaging week.  Contact us if you have any questions at all.  We’ll delight in helping you decide if it might benefit your service.

Target Audience

  • Physicians who want to begin the process of achieving credentialed status in the interpretation of adult echocardiography.

Objectives
  • Conduct a professional, unabridged, expeditious examination of the female pelvis using the transvaginal ultrasound probe.
  • Demonstrate proper use of system controls to optimize image findings and reduce artifact.
  • Apply principles of abstract spatial reasoning and conspicuity to identify, describe, and differentiate structural findings and histologic patterns in at each stage of gestational development.
  • Differentiate normal and abnormal pelvic organ appearance from suspected abnormal states, describing the impact of potential pathophysiological mechanisms on the acquired image.
  • Discuss the use of and safely apply color and achromatic Doppler to the assessment of umbilical cord and placental flow in the assessment of vascular perfusion in the maternal and fetal circulation.
  • Systematically differentiate normal and abnormal pregnancy states and cite the maternal/fetal abnormalities most commonly encountered in the first-trimester obstetrical exam.
