Spine - tips and tricks
11:30 AM - 12:55 PMAbstract
The joy of paediatrics means we can scan parts of the body that is impossible in adults - the spine is one of these! Paediatric spine ultrasound can demonstrate and delineate abnormalities detected in utero as well as those that appear after birth. We will look at the normal anatomy, common presentations and abnormalities (and maybe a few strange ones!)
Biography
Ms Sara Kernick |
Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne
Sara Kernick is currently the Lead Sonographer at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne where she has worked for over 20 years after returning home from working at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London.
Since returning she has tried her hand at many varied roles in sonography including women’s imaging and corporate applications but the call of paediatric sonography is all too compelling.
Her hot topics are paediatric hip, liver transplantation and sonographer education.
