2

Ultrasound Imaging

3

Hypo-/Hyperthyroidism

 

Without a firm understanding of thyroid function, hyper- and hypothyroidism it is difficult, if not impossible, to correctly interpret thyroid ultrasound findings. In this chapter, we explain which conditions can lead to thyroid dysfunction, how thyroid hormone levels are controlled, what the...

4

Diffuse Disease

 

In this chapter, we cover pathologies that can affect the entire thyroid - so-called "diffuse diseases". These include goiter (diffuse and nodular), Graves' disease, Hashimoto's disease as well as other forms of thyroiditis (De Quervain, drug-induced and pregnancy-related)....

5

Nodules: Benign or malignant

 

Thyroid nodules is (aside from diffuse disease) the "other" large topic in thyroid ultrasound. Nodules are the most common finding on ultrasound. The major role of ultrasound is to determine which nodules could potentially be malignant. Here you will learn how to describe nodules...

6

Classification schemes & Cancer

 

In Chapter 6 we take the topic of nodules a step further. Now that you know how to evaluate nodules, you will find out how to classify them with respect to their risk of malignancy. We cover both the EU- and ACR TIRADS classification and the ATA guidelines for the management of nodules. In...

7

Thyroid cancer

 

Thyroid cancer is not always a benign condition and ultrasound is the most important imaging modality for the early detection of thyroid cancer. But ultrasound is also important for the staging of malignancies. In this chapter, we introduce you to the classification and staging of thyroid...

8

Scintigraphy & lab

 

While thyroid ultrasound is an important building block to diagnose thyroid disease it is not the only one. In this chapter, we will add scintigraphy and lab testing to the list. After watching this chapter you will know how to put your ultrasound findings in the context of other findings and...

9

FNA

 

Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) is performed with the guidance of ultrasound. In this chapter, we will explain when this procedure is indicated and demonstrate how it is performed. Here we also review the Bethesda Cytology classification and present cases from A-Z. From the initial diagnosis with...

10

Other (Hyperparathyroidism + neck)

 

The thyroid is only one structure of the neck. When you scan you will also come across findings outside the thyroid. This chapter focuses on two pathologies that you should not miss: Hyperparathyroidism and abnormalities of the lymph nodes. Here you will learn what the typical ultrasound...

11

Radiotherapy

 

The last topic of this course on thyroid ultrasound is dedicated to radioiodine therapy. An important topic if you are involved in the treatment of patients with hyperthyroidism and cancer. But also for referring physicians. After all, you have to know for which patient groups radioiodine...

ABOUT THE COURSE

 
In this new course about thyroid ultrasound, we cover the most important parts from the basics to the advanced techniques. You will learn the anatomy of the neck and get a wrap-up of thyroid function and physiology. Most important we will show you how to image the thyroid, which cut planes you need to acquire, and what you see on the image. A large section is devoted to the detection and characterization of nodules. Here we explain the TIRADS classification. In addition, we discuss thyroid cancer and diffuse disease, Graves disease, Hashimoto, and more. Last but not least we will also show you which further treatment options you have. From medical treatment, Radioiodine treatment to surgery, and show you how they are performed.

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. 100% refund, no questions asked.
