The Abdominal Ultrasound
You will be able to master even the most difficult situations and learn everything you need to know about using ultrasound in your clinical practice.
OBJECTIVE
The Abdominal Class is intended to introduce you to ultrasound technology. Beginning with a general explanation of ultrasound physics and instrumentation, you will be given an overview of all abdominal organ systems and taught how to identify anatomic structures using standard ultrasound views. You will learn how to detect diseases of the liver, gallbladder, kidney, adrenal glands, pancreas, andurinary bladder using ultrasound by following simple step-by-step instructions for the most basic and common pathologies. You will learn about the importance of individual pathologies, the role of other imaging modalities, and how to manage patients based on ultrasound findings. A special emphasis is placed on the diagnosis of pathologies encountered in acute clinical situations. Realtime case information, discussion and reporting will provide you with high-quality images and numerous ultrasound clips to help you learn and master all situations involving patients with abdominal pathologies.
ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
The Echo course was created to teach you how to use echocardiography in a short amount of time. You will be able to perform an abbreviated exam of the most common cardiac conditions and assess acute illnesses after completing this course. This course teaches you the fundamentals of echocardiography and focuses on quickly learnable aspects of
echocardiography to distinguish normal from abnormal heart function and to understand basic hemodynamics. While more basic measurements are covered, the main goal is to teach you how to use eyeballing to assess the size and function of the heart and other pathologies (e.g. valvular lesions). You will also learn about disease pathophysiology and how specific findings influence therapeutic strategies. To detect the most common pathologies, an emphasis is placed on acute and subacute clinical conditions that a general physician,
cardiologist, anaesthetist, or critical care physician commonly encounters while on call. This course’s imaging section covers the most important views and demonstrates how they are used in various
clinical settings. Hundreds of image loops and case studies are provided to highlight disease variations. The Echo Class covers topics such as assessing left ventricular function, valvular pathologies, myocardial infarction, myocardial diseases etc.

Pedriatic Ultrasound
The Pediatric Ultrasound Class will teach you how to quickly assess pediatric patients and make informed decisions. Numerous illustrative cases and applications from across the field will assist you in diagnosing the pathologies of your young patients.
OBJECTIVE
After completing the Pediatric Ultrasound Class, you will be able to use ultrasound to quickly assess pathologies in pediatric patients and make diagnostic decisions.
The Pediatric Ultrasound is a self-paced online course that will revolutionize your clinical career. This course covers all primary pediatric ultrasound applications as well as pediatric emergency ultrasound. You’ll start your journey by learning about the history of pediatric ultrasound and the physics that govern image acquisition. The topics that follow will teach you about all aspects of pediatric ultrasound, from trauma scans to bedside cardiac ultrasound, with a special emphasis on critical care ultrasound. Furthermore, you will be
introduced to the ever-expanding field of ultrasound in general.
ObstetricalL & Gynaecological Ultrasound
Overview of the Course
The Obstetrics and Gynecology Ultrasound Course aims to provide you with a deeper understanding of obstetrics and gynecological ultrasound through a series of lectures, videos, and case presentation sessions. The course provides an overview of OB/GYN ultrasound. We show how to scan and interpret the female reproductive organs (physiology), as well as how to evaluate women during pregnancy. In the gynecological (GYN) section, we will discuss which abnormalities you may encounter in both pre- and postmenopausal women, as well as how they appear on ultrasound. The obstetric (OB) modality covers first-, second-, and third- trimester screening as well as relevant and common fetal abnormalities. The course also covers the subspecialties of uro-gynecology and reproductive medicine.
Concise and easy-to-follow videos with real-world examples from anatomy and pathophysiology ensure that all critical aspects are covered. You will also learn how patients may present and how ultrasound findings influence treatment. Case-based learning with numerous examples ensures that the content is practical, allowing you to apply the knowledge in your clinical setting right away. When ultrasound is indicated, you will be taught what to look for. The ultrasound assessment of abdominal pain, the most common problem in an OB/GYN emergency department, is given special attention. With numerous illustrations, animations, and scan demonstrations, the course content is presented in daily interactive training.

Breast Ultrasound Educational Goals
Participants who complete this course will be able to:
You will be able to master even the most difficult situations and learn everything you need to know about using ultrasound in your clinical practice.
OBJECTIVE
Understand how the fundamental principles and instrumentation of ultrasound affect breast ultrasound technique. Recognize normal breast anatomy on the ultrasound image and assess lesions for benign or malignant characteristics. Remember the mammographic and ultrasonic characteristics of various benign and malignant lesions. Explain the role and significance of mammography & ultrasound in breast diagnostics and management. Recognize breast ultrasound artifacts, understand why they occur, and describe techniques to reduce their occurrence. Develop an understanding of the various invasive procedures available, as well as their benefits and limitations.

VASCULAR ULTRASOUND
Concerning this Course
The Vascular Ultrasound Course is intended for sonographers, echocardiographers, interventional technologists, and physicians who want to learn the fundamentals of vascular ultrasound. This course allows professionals to supplement their existing skills with non-invasive vascular examination techniques. The course begins with a review of fundamental ultrasound physics and instrumentation, as well as gray scale and Doppler principles and fluid dynamics. Methods for improving the quality of diagnostic data obtained during an ultrasound examination are also discussed. Following a review of the relevant anatomy and physiology, in-depth presentations on examination techniques, protocols, and diagnostic criteria are given. Extracranial and
intracranial cerebrovascular imaging, abdominal and retroperitoneal (including large vessels and organs), peripheral arterial and venous imaging, and non-imaging assessments will be covered.
