OVERVIEW
Obstetrics and Gynaecology (OB/GYN) Ultrasound is organized by Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and would be held during Oct 23 - 27, 2017 at Wake Forest School of Medicine, Winston Salem, North Carolina, United States of America.
Course Description :
The Ob/Gyn Ultrasound course combines obstetrics and gynecology with the primary emphasis devoted to the study of obstetrics. The first day is primarily gynecology, including lectures in orientation and terminology of the gynecology tract and hands-on transvaginal scanning labs.

• Translate core topics in basic OB/GYN ultrasound as well as physical principles of ultrasound from conceptual to practical application on a daily basis.
• Understand the orientation of the pelvic and fetal anatomy as it is displayed on the monitor using both endovaginal and abdominal transducers.
• Recognize normal female pelvic anatomy including the bladder, cervix, uterus and ovaries.
• Identify basic fetal embryology and know how it applies to ultrasound imaging in the first trimester.
• Demonstrate skillful scanning techniques for performing an amniotic fluid index and biophysical profile.
• Understand the importance of determining chorionicity of multiple gestations in the first trimester.
• Identify normal fetal anatomy and the most common fetal anomalies.
• Distinguish markers of aneuploidy and to understand how they are used for the purpose of risk assessment.
