Location: Strand 12

Audience:​  All Sonographers

During the workshop we will discuss the recognition of sonoanatomy on ultrasound. The presentation will focus on shoulder anatomy and transition to hands-on scanning, allowing the sonographers to apply their learnings in real time. Individuals will learn to know and understand the rotator cuff anatomy and how to obtain the appropriate images. Learners will be supported in other areas such as the patellar tendon and the Achilles tendon as time permits.

• Recognize MSK sonoanatomy on ultrasound images.
• Demonstrate patient positions for shoulder ultrasound.
• Apply imaging techniques to identify MSK structures.

CME Credits:​ ​2.00 (MSK)
Didactic Presentation: ​60 Minutes
Hands-On Scanning: ​40 Minutes

This talk will provide a detailed description of the “Flow Viewer ™”, an advanced visualization technique which offers 3D-like rendering of 2D flow images. The talk will cover the technical background as well as its principles of operation of this technique and provide examples from a variety of clinical applications.

• Discuss the different types of lighting effects leveraged by the Flow Viewer rendering technique.
• Understand how the Flow Viewer works for different flow imaging modes (Color Doppler, CPA, MFI, …).
• Use clinical examples to highlight the Flow Viewer benefits.
