Course Overview

This comprehensive case series webinar focuses on the use of ultrasound for diagnosing shoulder pathologies. Through a series of real clinical cases, participants will learn how to identify common shoulder conditions such as rotator cuff tears, impingement syndrome, biceps tendonitis, labral tears, and osteoarthritis. The session will guide healthcare professionals through the process of performing shoulder ultrasound, interpreting key imaging findings, and distinguishing between various shoulder injuries. Dynamic imaging techniques and tips for assessing structures like the rotator cuff, acromioclavicular joint, and glenohumeral joint will also be covered. This case-based approach is perfect for clinicians seeking to enhance their diagnostic skills and improve patient care in shoulder musculoskeletal ultrasound.
