Dr Shum presented some of the findings from his extensive published research exploring the use of Duplex Ultrasonography, the monitoring of how blood flows through arteries and veins. The two main topics presented were:
- the neurological issues associated with post operative residual leg pain following disc herniation surgery
- blood flow changes in patients with cervicogenic dizziness.
The seminar provided students with an excellent introduction to the uses of diagnostic ultrasound in clinical practice and research. Our undergraduate and postgraduate students will now be able to experience the application of diagnostic ultrasound following our purchase of the Samsung Diagnostic Ultrasound which allows practitioners to visualise muscle injury, nerves and arterial blood flow analysis throughout their degree.
