About this minor

Due to governmental measures being taken in a lot of countries including the Netherlands, and borders being closed to help reduce the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), we believe that it is better to cancel the short programme Abdominal Ultrasound.
Hope to see you next year. 

Do you have a background in medical imaging and want to attend a short programme abroad? Abdominal Ultrasound might be the short programme you're looking for.

​The course Abdominal Ultrasound is mainly concerned with the professional and methodical appliance of ultrasound. The focus is the basic clinical skills in abdominal sonographic examinations. This course is offered by the educational programme Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy (MIRT), so there will also be attention for background knowledge of physics and image recognition.

During the course there are four case studies on which the students works individually and with fellow students. The course focuses on anatomy and pathology of the urinary system, image recognition in ultrasound diagnostics, image quality in ultrasound diagnostics, and artefacts.
