HS-UK and Ellex conduct European ultrasound course

 

Haag-Streit UK (HS-UK) and Ellex have jointly conducted the 15th European Ultrasound Course at the Sheraton Heathrow Hotel, London.

The event, in which 49 delegates from 10 countries were present, was chaired by Hatem Atta, Consultant Ultrasound Lead, Moorfields Eye Hospital. There were other reputable speakers, such as Andrzej Dmitriew, Senior Consultant Ophthalmologist, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Jens Folke Kiilgaard, Chief Consultant Vitreoretinal Surgeon & Ocular Oncologist at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Tarek El-khashab, Ophthalmologist & Lead for Ophthalmic Ultrasound Services, Mid-Cheshire NHS Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and Rizwana Siddiqi, Director of Clinical Affairs, Boomo Medical.

The one-day event practically covered all aspects of ophthalmic ultrasound. The topics featured are anterior imaging using Ultrasound Biomicroscopy (UBM), posterior B-scans for the diagnosis and evaluation of vitreoretinal disorders as well as optical biometry and the use of immersion ultrasound biometry for patients with dense cataracts.

The practical workshops were the main attractions. The workshops allowed the participants to get hands-on experience with the latest ultrasound equipment. The workshops also demonstrated some of the best available examination techniques such as the performance of accurate IOL calculations using ultrasound biometry, imaging ocular tumours using posterior B-scans, the use of ultrasonography in vitreoretinal pathologies and imaging the mechanisms of primary angle closure glaucoma using UBM.

Grant Duncan, HS-UK Clinical Training Manager, said, “HS-UK were delighted to have another opportunity to host this prestigious ultrasound event in the UK. We worked very closely with Ellex to deliver a packed agenda with interesting and valuable lectures from our expert faculty.”
