CONTENT

The aim of this 3-part course is Point of Care ultrasound examination to differentiate rheumatic pathology. We will discuss (sono)anatomy, transducer positions and sonopathology positions on an intermediate level with adding more in-depth information. We will review the theory and practice ultrasound skills of several important osseous, cartilaginous, (teno-) synovial and entheseal structures. We will also share with you some interesting literature which you can study after the webinar to deepen your knowledge. All content is on an intermediate level.
