Lab Marketing

Description: : Musculoskeletal sonography is becoming 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. The course will familiarize
clinicians with key techniques used to perform MSK examinations. 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 different joints of lower limb
2. Attendings will be divided into 6 groups to cover different joints of the lower limb – hip, knee and ankle. Each station will be for 40 minutes
3. Discussion – 15 minutes

Learning Objectives:

  • Optimize ultrasound machine settings for diagnostic and interventional techniques
  • Describe sonography findings in common lower limb anatomy and pathologies
  • Demonstrate basic techniques of basic musculoskeletal ultrasound scanning of hip, knee and ankle
  • Demonstrate appropriate use of ultrasound to identify targets for injection and guide needle placement
