Imaging Studies II: Ultrasonography

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...

Ultrasonography

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...

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

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...

Area of Science:

Medical Education
Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS)

Background:

Learner comfort is crucial for effective skill acquisition in medical procedures.
Foundational ultrasound skills include image acquisition, interpretation, and procedural guidance.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the impact of targeted ultrasound instruction on learner comfort.
To evaluate a microskill-based bootcamp for foundational ultrasound skills.

Main Methods:

A pre-post observational study design was employed.
Learner comfort was measured using Likert scale ratings (1-5) across four domains.
Paired t-tests and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used for statistical analysis.

Main Results:

Significant improvements in comfort were observed across all measured items (p < 0.001).
Effect sizes for the observed improvements were large (Cohen's dz = 0.865-2.324).

Conclusions:

A microskill-based teaching approach for targeted ultrasound instruction enhances learner comfort.
This educational strategy is effective in improving confidence with foundational ultrasound skills.
