OB/GYN Ultrasound
OB/GYN Ultrasound (3 Days)
This intensive three-day course is directed toward the OB Ultrasound examination and
sonographic evaluation of the gravid and non-gravid pelvis. With the utilization of both
transabdominal and endovaginal approaches, the transducer can become an extension of
the clinical examination in the OB/Gyn healthcare setting.
Advanced Health Education Center’s training model for skills classes provides a systematic
approach of presenting an overview of the instrumentation and physics related to ultrasound.
Classroom presentation and hands-on scanning will be used to develop a foundation
of knowledge related to normal maternal and fetal anatomy. The course will then progress
on to the performance of fetal measurements and the ultrasound appearance of fetal
anomalies. Also included will be the review of case studies related to common pathologies.
A variety of ultrasound equipment is available in the scan lab to allow for development of
skills and appropriate scan protocols.
Objectives
At the completion of this course, the learner will be
able to:
• Successfully complete the OB/GYN ultrasound examinations
following correct patient preparation and
procedure protocols.
• Identify and display appropriate normal anatomy and
orientation in the ultrasound field of view.
• Demonstrate a working knowledge of the importance
of quality assurance in ultrasound as described in the
AIUM guidelines.
• Understand variations in scanning protocols for demonstration
of pathologies in trans-abdominal examinations.
• Be able to develop mapping techniques to approach a
variety of scanning situations.
• Be able to identify sources and research reference
materials for additional information on OB/GYN
ultrasound.
