Abstract
Program Description:
With the progressive improvements in imaging resolution of ultrasound, concurrent reduction in capital expenditure, and portability, this modality is ideally suited to point-of-care use by most otolaryngology practices. Primary and exported training courses through the American College of Surgeons have provided a clinical starting point. An accreditation process for head and neck ultrasound is now available through a joint project between the American Institute for Ultrasound in Medicine and the Academy. This miniseminar presents the practical application of ultrasound to general, pediatric, endocrinologic, and oncologic conditions through a panel of outstanding experts from radiology and otolaryngology.
Educational Objectives:
(1) Cite the principles of ultrasound and its application to conditions of the head and neck. (2) Recognize the advantages of ultrasound-guided aspiration of samples for cytology and other chemical tests. (3) Learn ultrasound techniques and eventual accreditation of skills.
