ARRS Ultrasound: Core and Emerging Techniques and Concepts 2021 (CME VIDEOS)

Covering both conventional and advanced diagnostic techniques, this course updates the latest clinical information on body and vascular imaging, provides a multidisciplinary approach to obstetrics and gynecology, reviews current musculoskeletal concepts—including upper and lower extremities—while pointing out pitfalls in neck, chest, abdomen, and spine diseases and disorders in pediatric ultrasound.

Learning Outcomes and Modules
Recognize the imaging and clinical features that allow for refinement of differential diagnosis, allowing for a more specific diagnosis
After completing this course, the learner should be able to:
Develop differential diagnoses for ultrasound findings
Recognize some commonly encountered imaging artifacts in ultrasound and describe why they occur and the techniques to avoid them
Outline management decisions affecting a variety of commonly encountered clinical scenarios
Recognize new ultrasound technologies and describe their use in clinical scenarios
Describe strategies that assist in improving diagnosis in adult and pediatric radiology
