2 RACE-approved CE credits
2 x self-paced video webinars plus post-course CE quiz
Approximate Study Time: 2 hours
 
Course Overview:
Develop a stronger understanding of gastrointestinal ultrasound by learning how normal anatomy, function, and disease processes appear from a sonographic perspective. This course reviews gastrointestinal structure, motility, and relationships with surrounding organ systems to help clinicians recognize when findings deviate from normal.
 
Through practical case examples and pathology discussions, participants will explore common gastrointestinal abnormalities, including obstruction patterns, pyloric disease, and other sonographic presentations that impact clinical decision-making.
 
The course emphasizes pattern recognition and diagnostic efficiency, helping clinicians understand how changes in gastrointestinal wall structure, layering, motility, and surrounding anatomy can guide differentials and next steps in patient management. A curvilinear approach to interpretation is introduced to improve recognition of abnormal inflammatory, obstructive, and disease-associated patterns.
 
Course Objectives:
