Preconference Workshops (Optional) Wednesday, February 13, 2013 Physics Refresher and Update: Imaging and Doppler Principles 8:00 a m 12:00 pm Earn up to 3.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits. This refresher and update is presented by Frederick W. Kremkau, PhD, professor and director of the Program for Medical Utrasound at Wake Forest School of Medicine, past president of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM), and author of Diagnostic Ultrasound Principles and Instruments, now in its eighth edition. This workshop covers the major topics involved in how modern ultrasound imaging and Doppler ultrasound work. Recent technological advances are included. The course serves 3 purposes: 1. It provides an introduction for participants who are new to the field; 2. It provides a review and update of recent technological advances for practicing physicians, sonographers, and other health professionals; and 3. It provides a brief review for participants preparing for the Sonography Principles and Instrumentation (SPI) examination administered by the American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography. At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to: n Explain how ultrasound interacts with tissue, how transducers work, and how sonographic and Doppler instruments produce displays from echoes; n Discuss how these principles apply to clinical practice; and n Recognize common artifacts.
