         workshop in conjunction with faculty
 
The stations include;
  • Image optimisation skills
  • How to do an abdominal scan
  • How to do a transvaginal scan
  • Real-time practice of transvaginal scanning technique. Trainees will develop their scanning, eye-hand coordination and measurement skills on ultrasound mannequins
  • CT/MR images and case reviews
  • Ultrasound images and short video clips of a selection of normal and abnormal early pregnancy and gynaecological pathologies with description of specific morphological features
