Certificate Course in Basics of 3D Ultrasound

This course caters to practicing sonologists, gynaecologists and radiologists and those who are training to become practitioners in Fetal Medicine and Obstetric Ultrasound, as well as postgraduate medical students in these fields.

Course Price of Certificate of Participation is Rs 5,000 + 18% GST.

Obtaining sonographic volumes of the fetus allows for the visualization of data in any plane and in any direction and hence has an enormous potential in obstetric imaging. Acquiring optimal images in 3D ultrasound requires training and familiarization with the set‐up and controls of the ultrasound equipment. Many aspects of this innovative technique are often not well understood by operators leading to underutilisation of this technique. This chapter will address the basic principles and techniques for producing 3D ultrasound images and how to optimize image quality. The technical capabilities as well as its limitations such as artifact are also discussed. In addition, a short list of clinical applications for this technique will be presented in a very lucid manner.

Salient Features:

1. The salient feature of this course is that it involves both the aspects of volume acquisition and the postprocessing manipulation needed in an acquired volume data set.
2. In a step by step practical approach the usage of 3D ultrasound tools have also been explained.
3. Application of 3D ultrasound in routine practice and also in challenging case scenarios has been extensively dealt in this module.
4. A self-assessment test will be present at the end of each lecture.
5. Facility for answering questions and clarification of doubts on material provided is also available.
