Practical application
(ecomodels and phantoms examination)
14:30-15:30
15:30-16:30
Objectives:
Obtaining the image of anatomical elements, viewing the needle (in-plane
and out-of-plane), recognition of vascular and nerve elements
Visualization and recognition on phantoms all nerve elements described in
the theoretical part and adjacent anatomical elements
At the end, each participant should be able to visualize and identify the
nerves of the lower limb
Rehearsal on the equipment utilization/image optimization/needle tip
visualization and eye-hand coordination (on phantoms)
Ultrasonography (Phantoms examined with 1st group)

Recognition of all nervous elements and learn US approaches for each
element described in the theoretical session (on volunteers)
