NEONATAL CRANIAL ULTRASOUND - ADVANCED
Thursday 22 September 2022
THE ADVANCED COURSE
Learning aims: These two days of illustrated lectures cover a wide range of problems seen on neonatal brain ultrasound examinations. It is designed for clinicians with some experience in neonatal cranial ultrasound who want to be updated on what can be achieved with cranial ultrasound in terms of diagnosis and prognosis.
By the end of the advanced, two-day course in neonatal cranial ultrasound, participants will be equipped to identify and diagnose a range of clinical findings from cranial brain scan images. Participants will be able to plan, implement and manage a patient care plan and communicate prognosis to care teams.
