Cranial Ultrasound in Neonates
CUS001
Cranial ultrasound is the most important brain imaging and neuromonitoring diagnostic modality in the NICU; the neonatologist should interpret it even if the radiologist performs the technique. This course includes everything the neonatologist and the pediatrician need to know and learn about CUS, it is comprehensive and direct to the main points and teaches in a short time they are of performing and interpreting CUS.
Course Access Period: The course access starts with your purchase, and you will have a 30-day period to complete the course.
