Ultrasound plays a crucial role in the evaluation and management of patients with pelvic diseases and injuries.

The workshop will provide participants with the underpinning academic knowledge and clinical skills needed to undertake a range of gynaecological ultrasound examinations.

It will focus on indications, anatomy, scanning techniques/protocol, and normal and abnormal findings involved in a pelvic ultrasound examination.

The topics for the male pelvis will include common indications for ultrasound, gross and sonographic anatomy of the prostate, sonographic anatomy, scanning techniques, normal and abnormal findings of the prostate and seminal vesicles, and technical pitfalls of prostate sonography.

The topics for the female pelvis include gross and sonographic anatomy of the female pelvis, menstrual phases and relevant imaging appearances, scanning protocols, techniques, and common pathologies as well as technical pitfalls associated with female pelvic sonography. Groin, abdominal wall, and bowel sonography will also be covered in the workshop.

Hands-on practical will be conducted in the afternoon sessions to supplement the didactic teaching. It is ideal for practitioners who wish to expand their scope of practice in pelvic sonography and can be taken as a single module for continuing professional development.
