Basics of Ultrasound

We have created this website to educate the healthcare community about the use of sonography (mostly Point of Care Ultrasound, POCUS) in patient care. We have made this website free to maximize the potential audience that can learn from it. Furthermore, we wanted to make it a resource for those taking the FAST exam. Please feel free to provide us with feedback on what we can do to improve your user experience. A 'comments' button can be found in the footer of each page on this website.

About the Author

We are lucky to have Dr. Chris Moore, Professor of Emergency Medicine and Chief of the Section of Emergency Ultrasound in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the Yale School of Medicine as our lead contributor and author. Dr. Moore has established and directed the Emergency Ultrasound Section over the last twenty years. He is fellowship trained in emergency ultrasound and founded the Yale Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship which has trained over 25 fellows. His research interests are in diagnostic testing in the emergency department setting, particularly imaging tests such as ultrasound and computed tomography.

In addition to his research, Dr. Moore oversees the emergency ultrasound rotation, a required rotation for emergency medicine residents which is also popular as an elective both with Yale residents from other services, medical students and trainees from other institutions. He has established and directed the Yale Point-of-Care Ultrasound Course, one of the largest and longest lasting courses in the country, with two in-person courses per year. He is past-chair of the Emergency and Critical Care Ultrasound Section at the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) where he is a senior member and a former member of the AIUM Board of Governors.

High-Level Outline

We want the site to be as comprehensive as possible. While this will take some time, every lesson produced will build on the prior lesson. Major topics we intend to cover, include:
  • An introduction to ultrasound
  • Finding fluid
  • Aorta and IVC
  • FAST exam

Again, these are simply the major topics. For each topic, there will be numerous lessons created. We also intend to add quizzes so you can test your knowledge and prepare for the FAST exam. Please feel free to provide us with feedback on what we can do to improve your user experience. Use the 'comments' link in the footer of each page of this website.
