Ultrasound & Thyroid Ablation Workshop

We are glad to be part of the learning journey at Thyroid Ultrasound and Thyroid Ablation Workshop in collaboration with International Head Neck Ultrasound Surgeons Association (IHNUSA) partnership with Singhealth DukeNUS Institute of Medical Simulation and Singhelath DukeNUS SURGERY.

The ultrasound is a simple, noninvasive and yet powerful tool that can help clinicians make a quick diagnosis in their clinic. A good understanding of the thyroid and other relevant neck anatomy on ultrasound facilitates interventional procedures which are becoming commonplace in the management of thyroid and other neck diseases.

This workshop is curated with the ENT surgeons, Head & Neck Surgeons, Radiologists and Endocrinologists in mind, as evident by our multi-disciplinary faculty team.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

• Understand neck anatomy on ultrasound
• Understand thyroid anatomy on ultrasound
• Perform ultrasound guided needle aspiration and core biopsies with the right technique
• Understand the physics of radio-frequency ablation
• Perform RFA of thyroid nodules with precision over time
