The 9th DENTA x Aarhus University Hospital - Head & Neck Ultrasound Course
Following the successful completion of our two-day intermediate-level course endorsed by the European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB), we are pleased to announce that we will be hosting a similar event again this year in Aarhus, Denmark.
The previous course brought together healthcare professionals for an intensive programme of lectures, live demonstrations, and supervised hands-on ultrasound training on models and patients. Participants gained practical knowledge and skills in:
Understanding the principles of ultrasound and its clinical applications
Optimising image quality through effective use of ultrasound machine functionalities
Assessing head and neck pathology using ultrasound
Performing fine needle aspiration procedures
Understanding ultrasound-guided radiofrequency therapies
Building on the positive feedback and strong interest from previous attendees, we are excited to offer a similar educational opportunity this year, continuing our commitment to high-quality ultrasound training and professional development.
More details will follow!
Completing the course provides 12.5 European CME credits
