Ultrasound of the Shoulder
1 SDMS CME credit  |  Category: MSK

Dr. Benjamin Levine will present a complete tutorial for shoulder ultrasound and will include the rotator cuff as well as the tendons and structures around it. For each structure being examined there will be slides outlining the anatomy of the tendon under examination followed by a demonstration of the scanning technique. The use of split screen allows a clear view of the transducer orientation on the patient’s shoulder alongside the resulting image. Dr. Levine also includes tips and tricks to help with easier patient and transducer positioning for best results.

Objectives:
  • The basic anatomy and ultrasound appearances of the component tendons, muscles, and joints of the shoulder.
  • The exam technique including transducer placement and orientation.
  • How to position a patient for a shoulder ultrasound, including tips on how to compensate for patient limitations.
