Presentation
|
Ultrasound is an essential methodology used in Rheumatology. It allows a number of intra- and peri-articular processes to be identified and quantified. This allows more thorough analysis of the diagnosis and the evolution of rheumatoid conditions. The use of ultrasound as a 'stethoscope' for joints requires specific teaching which is closely related to the clinical approach. This course provides this specific teaching.
|
Special conditions of access / students concerned
