Title:

20 Ultrasound - Head and Neck

Description:

These sessions consider the role of ultrasound in investigating head and neck conditions and discusses its value alongside other imaging modalities. General anatomy is reviewed along with normal appearances, normal variants and common abnormalities. Tips on equipment use, technique and reporting will be offered.

Anatomy explored in these sessions includes the thyroid and parathyroid glands, salivary glands and lymph nodes. There is also a session exploring cranial ultrasound in neonates and young infants. The final session describes the normal anatomy of the neck and then details how neck lumps are assessed and diagnosed.

We recommend that you complete the 'Image Interpretation - Abdominal Ultrasound: Introduction and Image Optimisation’ session before starting the other sessions.

Please note that while this e-learning includes information on how to write a report, it will not qualify you to report ultrasound examinations. A certificate and record of your learning that can be linked to your KSF, CPD Now and (HCPC) CPD may be printed or downloaded.
