Advanced Ultrasound
This course will help you to build on the knowledge and skills that you gained in the Level 2 scanning course. We will focus on challenging areas like the pylorus and urinary bladder trigone, and perform a detailed evaluation of the stomach wall and intestine. We’ll also concentrate on smaller organs, and delve into the complexities of differentiating variations in normal appearance, from pathological changes. There will also be an introduction in using ultrasound to identify portosystemic shunts, and to guide fine needle aspirates.
