Enhance Your Ultrasound System Knowledge with Online Learning Videos

Canon Medical Systems ANZ offers a range of ultrasound systems designed to provide advanced diagnostic imaging capabilities for a variety of medical specialities. To help users optimise the full potential of their Canon Medical ultrasound system, the company provides online customer learning videos. In this article, we will discuss the Ultrasound System Optimisation and Management (SOM) Course, the topics covered, and the benefits of completing this course.

Introduction to the SOM Course

The SOM Course is an online learning program that aims to help Canon Medical ultrasound system users to understand their Aplio a-series or i-series system better. This course focuses on how to maximise workflow efficiency and improve confidence in clinical findings by demonstrating how to utilise all features of the system. By completing this course, users will have a better understanding of how to control and optimise the ultrasound system to improve their diagnostic capabilities.

Video 1: Basic Overview

The first video in the SOM Course provides an overview of the physical features of the ultrasound system, including powering up aspects, transducer connection, control panel navigation, and the ‘Heads Up’ Display. The chapter also covers the system controls and ergonomics, introducing the iSense design for workflow/ergonomics, system ergonomic features, raw data storage advantages, and system cleaning.

Video 2: Getting Started

The second video in the SOM Course demonstrates the steps and functions required to begin an examination using the Canon Medical ultrasound system. It covers patient registration, monitor display layout, touch command screen layout and functions, and examination parameter selection with presets and QuickStarts ™.

Video 3: Aplio Technology, Architecture, and Terminology

The third video in the SOM Course focuses on iPerformance, image quality functionality, and advanced tools. It covers iBeam architecture, including transmitting and receiving functions, processing, multiplexing technology, harmonic imaging, pulse subtraction harmonics, differential THI (Tissue Harmonic Imaging), precision imaging, ApliPure compound imaging, and TSO (Tissue Specific Optimisation).

CPD Certificates

Upon completing these videos, registrants will have the opportunity to earn CPD (Continuing Professional Development) points from ASAR (Australian Sonographer Accreditation Registry) or similar as "Self-Learning" Activity. However, it's important to note that CPD points can only be claimed if the course has been completed in full.
