Pre-Meeting Course: Thyroid, Parathyroid, and Neck Ultrasound Course (ACS Exported Course)
Tuesday, April 30, 2019 | 7:30am – 4:35pm
JW Marriott, Austin, TX
| Course Fees | |
| ACS Fellow | $1,470 |

Prerequisite Course: This ACS Thyroid, Parathyroid, and Neck Ultrasound Course requires the completion of a prerequisite course titled “Ultrasound for Surgeons: The Basic Course, 3rd Edition Online Course” that all attendees are required to complete by April 16, 2019. Information regarding the prerequisite course, including fee information, may be found here. You may register for the course before completing the prerequisite.
The objective of this course is to introduce the practicing surgeon to office based ultrasound examination of the thyroid, parathyroid, and neck for commonly encountered diseases. The distinction of normal from malignant lymphadenopathy is emphasized with a demonstration of the comprehensive examination of lymph node basins in cervical levels I-VI. The technique of ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of thyroid nodules and lymph nodes are addressed in didactic lecture format.
In addition, hands-on skill sessions allow the surgeon to develop techniques to perform diagnostic neck ultrasound and ultrasound guided FNAB. The use of standardized patients allows supervised hands on experience with transverse and longitudinal scanning methods. The techniques of FNAB of lesions will be performed using phantom models. Attendees will be instructed in the practical detail and hurdles in developing office based ultrasound.
