Description

This course introduces the concept of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) of the liver as an extension of the clinical exam performed by hepatology professionals. The symposium reviews the rationale for use of POCUS; the basics of liver ultrasonography; common applications of liver ultrasonography; hands-on-training in a simulated environment; and a proposed path to implement liver POCUS in clinical practice.
 
 

Objectives

  • Identify the potential uses of point-of-care ultrasound in clinical practice in both outpatient and inpatient settings.
  • Describe the basic concepts of ultrasonography applied to adult and pediatric hepatology.
  • Demonstrate the basic skills involved in performing ultrasonography in a simulated environment.
