Ultrasound Training

Ultrasound is an incredibly powerful tool for medical mission work.  Its utility crosses many specialties, and practical ultrasound skills can be learned in a short time.  Using live models, participants will review basic techniques and practice a variety of exams under the guidance of skilled medical mission sonographers.

Ultrasound workshops focus on:

• Pre-natal and genitourinary/breast ultrasound

  • Placenta praevia, twins, fetal gender identification

  • External ultrasound techniques for ovarian and uterine exam

  • Breast mass ultrasound

• Cardiac, hepato-biliary, and FAST ultrasound diagnoses

  • Congenital heart defects

  • Rheumatic Fever

  • Lithiasis

  • Acute abdominal screening

Participants should gain improved diagnostic ultrasound skill for more effective mission performance, and develop a foundation from which further self-directed sonography improvement can take place.
