Ultrasound (POCUS)

Ultrasound (POCUS) Webinar (Midterm Break 2026) — From Fundamentals to Clinical Impact

Overview
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has become a frontline tool for rapid bedside assessment and procedure guidance.
This webinar delivers a coherent, clinically oriented journey: how ultrasound works, how it evolved, and how to apply it in real scenarios — from the emergency department to musculoskeletal and interventional settings.

Module 1 — History, Evolution, and Physics (Made Understandable)
• Key milestones in ultrasound development
• Transducer basics and image formation
• B‑mode foundations and what “resolution” really means
• Common artifacts and why they matter clinically

Module 2 — Emergency Department Applications
We cover why bedside ultrasound can change management in acute presentations and how to think in rapid protocols. Emphasis is placed on clinical decision-making rather than device obsession.

Module 3 — MSK & Soft Tissue Ultrasound
• Tendon and muscle injury patterns
• Soft tissue infection vs abscess decision points
• Foreign body basics and swelling assessment

Module 4 — Devices, Modern Practice, and AI-Assisted Ultrasound
We review current device capabilities and how AI is being integrated into image acquisition support and workflow — including strengths, limitations, and ethical considerations.

Module 5 — Interventional Radiology: Ultrasound-Guided Procedures
• Ultrasound guidance in biopsy and drainage
• Safety mindset, needle visualization, and complication prevention
• When ultrasound guidance improves outcomes
