This 3-day workshop examines and interprets ultrasound images critically in terms of optimising image quality and image viewing conditions. It aims to familiarise participants with criteria of a diagnostic quality image, how to identify and use (if useful) or eliminate (if unhelpful) artefacts. The participants will also learn the basic sonographic principles in scanning ergonomic, ways to minimise scanning related musculoskeletal injuries, recognise equipment faults and perform routine quality assurance checks. The course will feature didactic lectures and interactive hands-on scanning demonstrations.
