Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography01:20

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
Ultrasonography01:17

Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called a...

Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

IntroductionUltrasonography, or renal ultrasound, is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and surrounding tissues.Indications for Urinary System UltrasonographyUrinary system ultrasonography is indicated in various clinical scenarios, such as:Kidney Stones (Urolithiasis): To detect and monitor the size and presence of kidney or urinary tract stones.Hydronephrosis: To assess the dilation of the renal pelvis and...

Ultrasound II: Endoscopic Ultrasound and FibroScan

Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) and FibroScan are valuable diagnostic tools in gastroenterology and hepatology, each with specific applications and techniques.
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS):
Assessing Blood pressure using a doppler ultrasound01:19

Assessing Blood pressure using a doppler ultrasound

To obtain accurate blood pressure measurements in clinical settings, especially when traditional methods are insufficient, healthcare professionals utilize the Doppler ultrasound technique. This method uses high-frequency sound waves to detect blood flow within the arteries, which is crucial for patients with conditions that complicate circulatory system assessment.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System I:Echocardiography01:17

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System I:Echocardiography

Cardiac imaging studies encompass a wide range of noninvasive and minimally invasive techniques designed to visualize the heart's structure and function in detail. One such technique is echocardiography, which uses high-frequency ultrasound waves to produce detailed images of the heart, known as echocardiograms.
Indications: Echocardiography is utilized to diagnose heart failure, valve disorders, and myocardial infarction. It also assesses cardiac structures' size, shape, and motion, evaluates...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Clinicians adopted new ultrasound (US) practices after training, but few completed authorization. Implementing national guidelines could improve adherence to diagnostic standards for US procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Clinical Practice

Background:

  • Clinician-performed ultrasonography (US) can streamline diagnostic workflows.
  • Introducing US skills to clinicians may reduce workload for specialized physicians.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of an introductory ultrasonography (US) course on clinician behavior.
  • To evaluate participant compliance with course requirements and clinical integration of US.

Main Methods:

  • A one-day didactic and hands-on US course with skills assessment was conducted.
  • A questionnaire surveyed 162 participants on pre- and post-course clinical changes.
  • Course compliance was measured by submission of pathological findings for authorization.

Main Results:

  • 47% of participants altered their clinical approach, and 44% modified their workout programs.
  • 24% changed their referral patterns post-course.
  • Only 10% submitted required documentation for authorization; 33% did not perform US post-course due to access, time, or supervision issues.

Conclusions:

  • Clinicians show willingness to integrate US into practice after introductory training.
  • A significant gap exists between adopting US practices and completing formal authorization procedures.
  • Development of national guidelines or adoption of existing European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) guidelines is recommended for gastroenterologists and surgeons.
