Ultrasound plays a crucial role in the evaluation and management of patients presenting with chronic musculoskeletal injuries.
The course will provide you with the underpinning academic knowledge and clinical skills needed to undertake a range of musculoskeletal ultrasound examinations.
You will develop and enhance the theoretical knowledge and advanced image interpretation as well as specialist scanning skills in sonography of the shoulder and other musculoskeletal structures. Topics will include principles of musculoskeletal ultrasound, common indications, protocol and scanning techniques of the various upper and lower limb musculoskeletal structures. You will also develop an insight into the role of ultrasound and other supplementary imaging tests (X-rays and MRI) for the diagnosis of musculoskeletal disease.
Intensive hands-on practical sessions will be conducted to supplement the didactic teaching. It is ideal for practitioners who wish to expand their scope of practice in musculoskeletal sonography and can be taken as a single module for continuing professional development.
"I had a good learning experience. The trainers were dedicated and generous to share their wealth of knowledge. Mr. Stephen Bird is a brilliant sonographer and was able to conduct his lessons hands-on in a very structured way. Awesome workshop!"Teo Si MinRadiographer, Singapore General Hospital
"This Musculoskeletal Sonography Workshop helped me a lot to improve my knowledge and scanning skills. it helped me to be more confident in doing musculoskeletal scans."Ariane EspinoSonographer, Medi-Rad
Associate Professor, Health and Social Sciences, Singapore Institute of Technology
Dr. Ooi specialises in ultrasound modality since 2001.
