Mr Bryce Allen |
Mermaid Beach Radiology
Bryce Allen is an experienced general sonographer, with echocardiography training, special interest in musculoskeletal ultrasound, and contrast enhanced ultrasound. He spent 5 years exploring the exercise and sport science sector, with injury rehabilitation and strength and conditioning, before pivoting into a diagnostic ultrasound career.
His radiology clinical experience of 10 years spans across both public and private sectors (including a locum stint in Hobart!). He holds certifications in Ultrasound-Guided musculoskeletal injections, ultrasound guided Venous Access, and extensive experience in regenerative Ortho biologics for musculoskeletal conditions. Bryce is part of ongoing research for PRP non-operative repair of acute ligamentous ruptures.
Off the back of a mountain biking accident, Bryce’s injury put his clinical ultrasound career on hold, leading him to explore other avenues in videography. This creative plot twist sparked a new passion for ultrasound education. And has lead him to deliver multiple international webinars, private seminars, and hands-on workshops for physicians, allied health professionals and sonographers alike, on the topic of advanced MSK ultrasound.
It's Bryce’s aim is to deliver engaging content to elevate the ultrasound user’s skill set and keep ultrasound at the front line of medical diagnostics.

US guided cortisone injections
9:00 AM - 9:20 AMPresentation Synopsis / Abstract
Ultrasound-guided cortisone injections are very common procedures that many sonographers are involved with and widely used in musculoskeletal medicine, yet for many of us and our patients, important questions remain regarding optimal use and safety, and there is significant variation in clinical practice. This presentation reviews appropriate use of these injections and clinical rationale including current evidence on pharmacology, effectiveness, risks and long-term outcomes as well as generic principles of ultrasound-guided cortisone injections. It will also highlight several important broader patient factors for consideration. Attendees will gain a broad overview of ultrasound-guided cortisone injections to help support safe and appropriate clinical practice of these procedures.
