Course description
The course will focus on learning ultrasound physics, image acquisition, normal sonoanatomy and the standardised examination method in children as well as the applications of MSUS in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
Learning Objectives
- to learn the principles and applications of MSUS in children
- ultrasound machine handling, setting optimisation and identification of artefacts
- to learn the normal sonographic pattern and sonoanatomy of musculoskeletal tissues in children
- to know the standardised ultrasound assessment of each musculoskeletal anatomic region in children
- to identify basic pathological MSUS findings in children
- to document images and to report ultrasound findings
