- Prepare patients for abdominal ultrasound examinations, ensuring safety, comfort, and obtaining relevant medical history.
Description
Abdominal ultrasound (USG abdomen) is a non-invasive imaging technique used to visualise the organs and structures within the abdomen. This course covers the fundamentals of abdominal ultrasound, including ultrasound physics, machine operation, and image interpretation. Participants will gain proficiency in identifying normal abdominal anatomy, including the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, pancreas, and major abdominal blood vessels. Understanding the normal anatomy is crucial for recognising and diagnosing abnormalities.
