Webinar details
This webinar introduces a structured approach to soft tissue lump assessment, covering referrals, scanning technique, normal appearances, image interpretation and common benign lesions.
Why this topic matters
Soft tissue lump assessment sits between general and musculoskeletal ultrasound and, for this reason, is often taught after qualifying, with limited formal teaching.
A structured approach to assessment, interpretation and reporting can improve confidence, consistency and clinical usefulness.
This session provides an introduction to lump scanning focusing on clinical referrals, practical assessment, the recognition of common soft tissue lesions and reporting when no focal abnormality is identified.
This session is particularly useful for sonographers performing general and musculoskeletal ultrasound who encounter soft tissue referrals in practice.
