Lab Marketing

Description: : Musculoskeletal sonography has become an important part for evaluating and managing joint, nerve and soft tissue disorders. This course is designed to shorten the learning curve for health professionals interested in developing expertise in MSK ultrasound of peripheral nerves. The course will familiarize clinicians with key techniques used to perform ultrasound examinations of peripheral nerves. Clinicians will learn to recognize normal anatomy, common pathologies, and critically evaluate the images.

Why is this lab needed? : This introductory course is designed for clinicians who wish to become more familiar with the function of diagnostic ultrasound, its limitations, and its capabilities. Through didactic, interactive, and hands-on portions, learn the basics of performing a diagnostic ultrasound of various body parts. This course is designed to shorten the learning curve for health professionals interested in developing expertise in MSK ultrasound. Clinicians will learn to recognize normal anatomy, common pathologies, and critically evaluate the images. Attendees will become familiar documentation for musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound. Upon completion of this course, one’ll leave with a solid skill set to readily implement into
their practice.

Lab Outline/Format:: 1. Initial 45 minutes will be presentation on ultrasound evaluation of the peripheral nerves
2. Attendees will be divided in 6 groups to cover different nerves of upper and lower limbs. Each station will be 20 minutes

Learning Objectives:

  • Discuss and demonstrate normal anatomy of upper and lower limb peripheral nerves
  • Discuss various pathology affecting the median and ulnar nerve on ultrasound evaluation
  • Discuss various pathology affecting the lower limb nerves on ultrasound evaluation
  • Discuss the various minimally invasive treatment options for carpal tunnel syndrome including, hydro-dissection
