This module provides hands-on training for neck ultrasound examinations, using a designated linear probe. It incorporates hands-on procedural tasks and virtual patient clinical cases, accompanied by comprehensive educational aids.
The tasks include self-guided step-by-step neck scanning protocols (Thyroid and Advanced Measurements). The case scenarios include varying diagnostic complexities such as a healthy patient, suspicious, benign and malignant thyroid nodule as well as carotid artery stenosis and dissection.
Learning Objectives:
- To methodically perform complete neck examinations, acquiring and capturing standard views using linear probe
- To gain confidence in thyroid scanning
- To practice the utilization of color Doppler and power doppler as a qualitative hemodynamic diagnosis tool
- To demonstrate, evaluate and report diverse vascular abnormalities such as dissection and stenosis
- To demonstrate competency in systematic performance of neck examination scanning, documenting, and reporting
Specialties:
Sonographers, Interventional Radiologists, Endocrinologists, ICU Physicians, Vascular surgeons
