Attendees will be introduced to the principles of ultrasound, the ultrasound machine and probes, and some approaches to applying ultrasound imaging in the anatomy lab. Attendees will have an opportunity to use ultrasound to obtain images relevant to the thyroid, wrist, liver and gallbladder, which would give one experience with the common probes being used in ultrasound clinics. A demonstration will precede the ultrasound activity. Attendees will work in groups and use the ultrasound machine on each other. There will also be a demonstration of musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging of the upper limb (rotator cuff muscles) to demonstrate the relevance of ultrasound to illustrate the rotator cuff muscles and their function. The last part of this activity will be to view the heart on a live model. A live model will be available.
