About this Course
Course Description
Ultrasound (US) is the modality of choice for initial characterization of thyroid conditions. This introductory course is designed to introduce participants to the normal sonographic anatomy of the thyroid gland, ultrasound features of thyroid conditions and learn to identify suspicious & non-suspicious US features of thyroid nodules. Participants will learn how to apply risk stratification algorithms using Thyroid Imaging Reporting And Data System (TIRADS) to identify nodules indicated for biopsy. Participants will also gain understanding on proper techniques for US guided fine needle aspiration cytology / biopsy of a thyroid nodule.
Course Learning Outcomes
1 ) Recognize ultrasound characteristics of normal thyroid gland.
2 ) Recognize ultrasound characteristics of thyroid nodules and diffuse thyroid disorders.
3 ) Perform risk stratification of thyroid nodules using Thyroid Imaging Reporting And Data System (TIRADS).
4 ) Familiarize procedural techniques & complications related to ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) / biopsy.
