About this Workshop The involvement of medical physicists in ultrasound imaging services is increasing at many facilities as they seek accreditation to qualify for reimbursement by some insurance companies. The American College of Radiology (ACR) requires a medical physicist to conduct annual surveys of ultrasound units in facilities accredited by them. Medical physicists supporting these facilities need to update their skills as well as meet the continuing education requirements of various accrediting bodies. This workshop is designed to meet those needs and provide 15 hours of continuing education credits. An indepth review of ultrasound technology will be given along with an opportunity for hands-on application of performance and quality assurance testing procedures. The workshop will be conducted by a well qualified faculty. Who Should Attend Medical physicists looking for an in-depth review of ultrasound physics including hands-on QA testing procedures while also aquiring the continuing education credits required by various accrediting bodies should attend. The workshop would be useful for medical physics students or residents learning ultrasound technology. Some sonographers looking for an indepth review of ultrasound physics and more understanding of ultrasound QA testing may find the workshop of value. Workshop Format The workshop will include material presented in lecture format with PowerPoint slides and video illustrations. Hands on laboratory sessions of QA testing procedures using various phantoms will provide opportunities to apply the testing procedures under the guidance of a knowledgeable and experienced faculty. Educational Objectives At the completion of this workshop, participants will: Have received the basic physical concepts of ultrasound. Have learned the properties and instrumentation of real time ultrasound transducers. Recognize artifacts in ultrasound images. Understand the principles and applications of Doppler ultrasound. Be able to design and implement an effective QA program for clinical utrasound services. Review requirements for ultrasound facility accreditation. Labs - QA Testing Lab A: Image Uniformity Lab B: Doppler and Elastography Lab C: Caliper Accuracy horizontal and vertical Lab D: Axial & Lateral Resolution Lab E: Low Contrast Detectability Lab F: Maximum Penetration Depth and Dead Zone MTMI would like to thank and acknowledge the participation of: CIRS Fuji Film-SonoSite GAMMEX-Sun Nuclear GE Healthcare Philips Samsung-NeuroLogica
Continuing Education This activity is designed to provide continuing education for the practicing clinical medical physicists, interested technologists and other medical professionals. This program has been submitted for approval to CAMPEP for up to 15 hours of Medical Physics Education credit (MPCEC) for qualified medical physicists. SAMs available Credits for 7 self-assessment modules (SAMs) are available in this program for an additional fee. See registration form for details. This program provides 13.75 hours of Category A continuing education credit for radiologic technologists approved by ASRT and recognized by the ARRT and various licensure states. Category A credit is also recognized by CAMRT s Continuing Education Credit Approval Program for CE credit in Canada. You must attend the entire program to receive your certificate of completion.
