Students learn about usefulness of ultrasound in osteopathy
Fourth year research students Lise Galatius and Katharine Spens, post dissertation on osteopathic research hypotheses tested by mainstream imaging techniques, are pictured with department head Lance Bird.
The European School of Osteopathy (ESO) in Maidstone, Kent, has invested in a SonoSite M-Turbo point-of-care ultrasound system, giving its students the opportunity to discover how the technology can help them in their clinical and educational practice.
Department head/sonologist and senior lecturer in medical imaging Lance Bird said: “Ultrasound is an accessible imaging modality that can be used to diagnose, research and further investigate the nature of osteopathy. It enables full, expert visualisation of fundamental pathologies and management of the presenting condition in situations where the structure or function is not clearly palpable, or musculoskeletal tests give ambiguous results.”
