NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND COURSE DESCRIPTION
Ultrasound and ultrasound-guided procedures have become integral components, not just of ART, but also in the dayto-day
practice of reproductive medicine, infertility and gynecology. In 2009, new practice guidelines for ultrasound in
reproductive medicine were published by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) in collaboration with
ASRM. There is a need to educate and train healthcare professionals about these guidelines and their implementation in
order to keep in compliance.
This course will provide a comprehensive survey of the use of ultrasonography in the female pelvis for physicians, nurses
and ultrasonographers actively involved in reproductive medicine, infertility and gynecology. The faculty will review critically
the application of ultrasonography to the infertility evaluation, diagnosis, treatments and complications. In addition to
the use of ultrasound for early pregnancy evaluation and monitoring and the assessment of pregnancy complications,
other gynecologic findings on ultrasound, such as congenital uterine anomalies, ovarian masses, tubal disease and other
uterine pathologies will be addressed, along with their impact on fertility. A variety of reproductive problems throughout
the reproductive lifespan, from puberty through menopause, will be discussed from an ultrasound perspective. Newer
technologies with current or potential application, such as 3-D ultrasound and Doppler, will be explored, along with the use
of CT and MRI. Cases and controversies will be presented for interactive participation, and there will be an opportunity to
learn practical applications and manipulate 3-D images. This course will fulfill CME requirements for AIUM credentialing.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After participating in this course, participants should be able to:
1. Summarize the appropriate use of ultrasonography in the evaluation of infertility, uterine abnormalities and the pathology
of the reproductive tract.
2. Describe the proper assessment of early pregnancy and list findings of early pregnancy assessments that are associated
with poor outcomes.
3. Discuss new developments in ultrasonography, the importance of 3-D ultrasonography in reproductive medicine, and the
importance of Doppler blood flow assessment in reproductive medicine and gynecology.
