OB/GYN AND ABDOMINAL SONOGRAPHY UPDATE
April 25 − 27, 2008
UCSF is proud to present its annual
sonography course for general radiologists,
sonologists and sonographers. In practice,
many radiologists have had limited
sonographic subspecialty training or expertise,
which puts added stress and responsibility on
the sonographers/technologists. This course
will update standard practices in fetal,
gynecologic, abdominal and breast ultrasound
imaging. In addition, we will emphasize
sensitive detection of abnormalities including
false positive diagnoses.
Clinical radiologists and sonographers will
have updated information regarding
expectations for (and limitations of)
sonographic diagnosis in the following
diagnostic areas: targeted and non-targeted
obstetric sonography, nuchal translucency
screening, fetal cardiac and brain imaging,
female pelvic imaging including those of
endometrial and ovarian pathologies, breast
sonograhy, groin hernias, pediatric urology,
carotid disease and liver transplantation.
