An Introduction to Medical Ultrasound with live demonstrations using hospital equipment.
Talk by Steve Savage Consultant Sonographer, Yeovil District Hospital.
This talk will cover the basic principles and physics (in a very simple way!) of medical ultrasound including the production of ultrasound the ultrasound image and some more advanced uses such as colour Doppler and shear wave. We will also look at the application of ultrasound and its use in a wide range of different types of examination such as Obstetrics, General, musculoskeletal ultrasound and some interventional procedures. There will be an opportunity to see some live scanning and see colour Doppler and shear wave in action. There will be some discussion on the new uses of ultrasound and there will be an opportunity to ask questions too.
