Hands-On Learning Lab: OB-Focused POCUS

Monday, April 8, 2024

2:30pm – 4:00pm

Location:Austin F - 6th Floor

CE: 1.5

This educational session focuses on enhancing proficiency in obstetric ultrasound imaging. It will cover the identification and interpretation of common sonographic artifacts, and how to recognize key anatomical features across various ultrasound modes, including M-mode, 2D/B-mode, color, and spectral Doppler. Additionally, the session will provide practical guidance on important obstetric biometric measurements, such as crown-rump length and standard biometry in the second and third trimesters, along with amniotic fluid assessment.

Hands-on Learning Labs offers you the opportunity for hands-on scanning blended with didactic lectures. We generally have a 4:1 ratio at the scanning stations.

$$ Each lab requires a separate registration. To register and attend the interactive Hands-on Learning Lab, please add a Learning Lab as you register for UltraCon 2024.
