This Ultrasound bundle includes 11 courses:

Theory of Ultrasound Physics

This eLearning course is an introduction to sound, sound waves and how medical ultrasound works. The theory describes the different techniques and safety of ultrasound waves.

After completing this course you will be able to:

    • Define medical ultrasonography
    • Relate to basic ultrasound physics principles and vocabulary
    • Use ultrasound physics to explain how images are produced 
    • Review the safety and biologic effects of ultrasound and the interaction of ultrasound with tissue

Practical Physics for Image Quality in Ultrasound Examination

This eLearning course is an introduction to sound, sound waves and how medical ultrasound works. The theory describes the different images resulting of different physique components.

After completing this course you will be able to:

    • Relate to basic ultrasound physics principles and vocabulary
    • Recognize the different modes of ultrasound imaging
    • Recognize how adjusting depth, focus, Time Gain Compensation (TGC), and gain can improve ultrasound images
    • Identify and troubleshoot common imaging artifacts

Setting up for an OB Ultrasound Examination

This course introduces you to the basic set up for an ultrasound exam. That includes learning some of the technical knowledge you'll need in order to determine which approach is the best for your examination.

After completing this course you will be able to:

    • Familiarize yourself with what is needed to set up and prep for an ultrasound exam 
    • Identify basic scanning techniques and positioning of the patient and transducer to perform an ultrasound exam
    • Familiarize yourself with different ultrasound transducers
    • Identify ultrasound techniques for different scanning planes and rotations

Performing the Mid Trimester Ultrasound Examination

This eLearning course in this curriculum focus on setting up for the obstetric ultrasound exam, getting started with the obstetric exam, recognizing the exam goals and workflow steps; using basic transabdominal obstetric scanning techniques; and assessing the normal maternal anatomy during a mid trimester ultrasound examination.

After completing this course you will be able to:

    • Define the number of fetuses, their lie and presentation and viability
    • Evaluate the placenta and placenta location
    • Observe and evaluate the amniotic fluid

Performing the 1st Trimester Ultrasound Examination

In this course you will learn the exam goals and steps for a first trimester OB ultrasound examination using transabdominal scanning techniques. You will learn how to assess the normal maternal anatomy and the development of the embryo using ultrasound.

After completing this course you will be able to:

    • Define the location of the pregnancy
    • Identify normal structures visible in the first trimester
    • Determine if it is a single or multiple pregnancy
    • Determine if the embryo is viable
    • Apply findings of the first trimester ultrasound to pregnancy dating

Mid Trimester Sonographic Appearance of Fetal Spine and Extremities

This course focuses on sonographic imagery, video and illustrations to aid in properly identifying normal fetal development of the fetal spine and extremities during the second and third trimesters.

After completing this course you will be able to:

    • Identify the fetal spine and examine the spine in multiple planes
    • Determine normal spine anatomy
    • Determine the presence or absence of fetal arms and legs

Mid Trimester Sonographic Appearance of Head and Face

This module provides sonographic images, videos and illustrations for the normal anatomy of the fetal head and face in the second and third trimester.

After completing this course you will be able to:

    • Recognize the normal fetal anatomy of the face and head from ultrasound images

Mid Trimester Sonographic Appearance of Thorax and Heart

This course provides sonographic images, videos and illustrations of the second and third trimester normal anatomy of the fetal thorax and heart and describe the process and workflow for the fetal heart scan.

After completing this course you will be able to:

    • Identify normal fetal thorax and heart anatomy on sonograms
    • Describe standard scanning planes for fetal cardiac screening
    • Identify the ultrasound criteria for a normal fetal heart scan

Mid Trimester Sonographic Appearance of Abdomen and Pelvis

In this lesson you will take a close look at the anatomy of the fetal abdomen and pelvis. This will take you one step closer to performing a successful ultrasound.

After completing this course you will be able to:

    • Recognize the normal fetal anatomy of the abdomen and pelvis from ultrasound scans
    • Identify the umbilical cord insertion
    • Identify the male and female genitalia of the fetus

Determining Gestational Age during the Mid Trimester Ultrasound Examination

This course focuses on dating and measurement techniques, which plays an important role in the determination of normal fetal development.

After completing this course you will be able to:

    • Describe the technique for measuring fetal parameters
    • Describe the importance of the accuracy of the last menstrual period (LMP) vs fetal measurements
    • Explain how fetal measurements can be used to estimate the gestational age (GA) and estimated fetal weight (EFW)

Lumify and Reacts Product Videos

In this course you will learn how to use the Lumify system and get familiar with the tele-ultrasound Reacts software that is available on the Lumify.

After completing this course you will be able to:

    • Describe the workflow and controls on the Lumify system
    • Explain how to conduct a Reacts session and receive a Reacts call
