Slide 1 The biliary system normal anatomy and its pathologies are closely related to the liver and pancreas functions and pathological anatomy. This is the reason why these structures should be considered as a whole. In this course, we will, anyway,

Slide 1 Unfortunately this course is too short to thoroughly explain the liver and bile duct ultrasound anatomy. This lecture and the following ones, aim instead, at suggesting an ultrasound method to better understand the copious and detailed professional studies.             Slide 2 Our learning

Slide 1 The B-mode image represents morphology, structure and anatomical relationships of the different organs and tissues. According to the Doppler effect, the circulating red blood cells’ (RBCs) dispersion or scattering analysis enhances the real time ultrasound imaging, showing the blood

Every on-training sonographer should become familiar with the real-time images and gain confidence with the standard ultrasound anatomy. It’s only when the operator becomes acquainted with standard anatomy that he/she successfully  develops the necessary  oculomotor coordination to promptly recognize and identify

Sonography is universally considered an operator-dependent technique, but is there any truth to this? Those who practice this "art" know that the somehow artisanal skill of a sonographer is essential to the diagnosis quality. The technique can be acquired with continuous training

Doppler applications have transformed the morphological imaging sonography into a morpho-functional one. The last one is able to evaluate not only the organs’ anatomy and structure but even their perfusion and its changes according to time flow speed. It is worth

A warm welcome to everyone! Dear colleague, you are starting a new and perhaps never tried path of knowledge and training. You will have to face with difficulties and tiredness because these subjects are new and far from your everyday practise.

  Good time to everyone. I intentionally entitled this course  "INSONATION, THE 5° CORNERSTONE OF CLINICAL SEMIOTICS". In every clinical environment, bedside ultrasound can complete the patient's physical examination, improving the physician's diagnostic skills and decision-making process to feel his self-confidence and professionalism
