Second-Level Master Diagnostic and Interventional Ultrasound in Adults

An advanced training pathway designed for physicians who wish to gain mastery of diagnostic and interventional ultrasound techniques, expand their clinical competencies, and enhance decision-making skills across various specialist contexts.

Objectives of the Master

• Provide a solid theoretical foundation on the physical principles of ultrasound, ultrasound semiotics, and correct image interpretation, including artifacts, with attention to medico-legal aspects.
• Teach physicians the practical use of the ultrasound device, from probe selection and management to proper execution of standard scans, including the use of advanced technologies such as Doppler, CEUS (Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound), and elastosonography.
• Specialize participants in adult ultrasound, covering specific methods for adult patients, such as abdominal, thoracic, musculoskeletal, vascular, breast, and emergency ultrasound, respecting the anatomical and clinical characteristics of adulthood.
• Develop clinical skills applied to ultrasound of major body regions through a systematic, patient-centered approach: abdomen, thorax, genitourinary system, vascular system, musculoskeletal system, lymph nodes, head and neck, and breast.
• Train physicians to perform ultrasound in critical and emergency contexts (FAST protocol) for rapid and effective diagnosis in emergency situations.
• Integrate interventional ultrasound competencies, focusing on ultrasound-guided techniques for minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
• Provide a theoretical foundation in pediatric ultrasound through a dedicated module on pediatric and neonatal imaging, covering theoretical aspects of specific techniques for young patients, such as transfontanellar, thoracic, abdominal, musculoskeletal, vascular, and emergency ultrasound, with attention to the anatomical and clinical characteristics of the pediatric population.
