Lecture topics will cover topics in both diagnostic and interventional ultrasound including: 1) regional diagnostic ultrasound of shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, foot/ankle that include scanning of nerves; 2) ultrasound-guided micro-invasive surgical procedures; 3) update on hydro-dissection; and, 4) advanced diagnostic ultrasound beyond B-mode ultrasound.
On Thursday evening, an optional pre-conference lecture will be available for all participants, covering basic knowledge for those who are new to sports ultrasound.
Target Audience
Physicians, Residents, and Fellows.
Learning Objectives
The goals of the conference are to promote knowledge and hands-on experiences of sports ultrasound to participants. Participants will be able to properly identify indications of diagnostic sports ultrasound and demonstrate increased proficiency in performing interventional sports ultrasound.
