This course is designed for beginners starting out in ultrasound or as a refresher course on the normal limits of the common abdominal anatomy for an abdominal ultrasound examination. The lecture portion of this course will provide the foundation for the interpretation of normal organ size and normal echogenicities for each organ and how to identify the liver, spleen, kidneys, urinary bladder, gallbladder, and the segments of the gastrointestinal tract. There will also be a discussion on the spectrum of “normal” for our juvenile patients versus our geriatric patients. There will also be case examples of common pathology or processes seen within the abdomen. The lab portion will be practicing the scanning techniques for the “Big 5” (liver, spleen, left and right kidneys, and bladder), along with the general scanning of the gastrointestinal tract.

This course is designed for scanners wanting to advance their basic skill set in ultrasound and to image the smaller anatomy within the abdomen. The lecture portion of this course will provide the foundation for the interpretation of normal organ size and normal echogenicities for the smaller organs like the pancreas, lymph nodes, and adrenals. There will also be further evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract and tricks for imaging it, along with tricks on how to scan the “deeper” organs like the liver and the head of the spleen. Vascular scanning and mapping will also be discussed. The lab portion will be practicing the scanning techniques for smaller anatomy like the pancreas, adrenals, and lymph nodes. There will also be practice in scanning the gastrointestinal tract and identification of all the small bowel and large bowel segments.
