The Soft Tissue: Core Clinical Ultrasound Module teaches one how to use sonography to assess the tissues of the body, including subcutaneous tissue, fascia, muscle, tendon, vasculature, and bone. The course includes optimal transducer selection, imaging techniques, and scanning approaches for sonographically evaluating normal and pathological soft tissue. The sonographic appearance of abscesses and how they can be distinguished from cellulitis is discussed, as well as the use of ultrasound in localizing and removing foreign bodies from soft tissue. The course concludes with a few case studies and a summary of salient teaching points. One develops the requisite cognitive task awareness and visuospatial skills required to perform sonographic evaluations of soft tissues through 10 different hands-on simulation cases.
