The Biceps
Course Overview
Master the use of ultrasound for diagnosing biceps tendon injuries, including both proximal and distal biceps tendon pathologies. This course provides an in-depth exploration of biceps tendon anatomy, injury patterns, and ultrasound imaging techniques for accurate diagnosis. Learn how to identify common injuries like tenosynovitis, tendinosis, tears, and biceps pulley injuries. Understand how to visualize the distal biceps tendon using advanced techniques like the Cobra Head and Pronator Window positions. Ideal for sonographers, radiologists, and orthopedic professionals, this course enhances your skills in using ultrasound as a reliable tool for diagnosing biceps tendon conditions, offering an effective alternative to MRI in many clinical settings.
