Webinars

asaWEB - The Goal-Directed Valsalva

This cardiac obstructive LVOT series webinar provides a practical guide to performing the Goal-Directed Valsalva (GDV) manoeuvre during echocardiography. Learn optimal equipment setup, patient coaching techniques, and how to integrate GDV into routine LVOT assessment to improve detection of latent LVOT obstruction. Standardising the approach enhances the reliability and reproducibility of provoked gradient assessment.

Webinars

asaWEB - AI in radiology: Early lessons

This webinar, by Assoc Prof Luke Houghton from Griffith Business School, explores the idea of using artificial intelligence through a program called Annalise.ai to perform the first read of a medical scan. The approach positions AI as the initial reviewer, with the goal of taking that first-pass interpretation work off the radiologist’s job.

Webinars

asaWEB - AI in the scan room

This webinar, by Assoc Prof Christopher Edwards, FASA, QUT sonography educator, researcher, and practising sonographer, explores how AI is already being integrated into ultrasound through scan optimisation, guidance, automated measurements, and workflow standardisation. Reviewing current evidence, he discusses AI's potential to improve efficiency while highlighting challenges such as verification burden, automation bias, and the risk of de-skilling. Chris also examines accountability, patient disclosure, and professional practice implications, before outlining practical strategies and future priorities for the safe and effective use of AI in sonography.

Webinars

asaWEB - Glimpse into the role of sonography in paediatric genetic syndromes

This webinar, has been thoughtfully put together by the Paediatric Special Interest Group and is presented by Mr Cain Brockley, FASA and discusses three common genetic disorders causing various overgrowth conditions in the paediatric population. The important role sonographers play in managing these patients will also be highlighted, along with the need for fundraising initiatives like Jeans for Genes Day.

Webinars

asaWEB - Disruptive trends in medical imaging

This webinar, presented by Steffen Bollmann, visiting Researcher at Stanford Radiology and Senior Research Fellow at The University of Queensland, explores the disruptive technologies reshaping the future of MRI. Steffen discusses how open-source computing platforms, AI-assisted workflows, and scanner-integrated reconstruction technologies are helping to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice, improving reproducibility, accelerating innovation, and reducing workload for healthcare professionals.

Webinars

asaWEB - Paediatric vocal cords

This webinar, presented by Lisa Peng, explores the role of ultrasound in the assessment of paediatric vocal cord palsy, a condition most commonly associated with recurrent laryngeal nerve injury following paediatric cardiac surgery. The webinar will review the clinical presentation, potential complications, and the importance of timely diagnosis in improving patient outcomes.

Webinars

asaWEB - Diastolic function

This webinar, presented by Tarryn Cremin, provides a practical guide in the assessment of diastolic function utilising the new ASE diastology guidelines. Tarryn describes the algorithm and techniques and measurements used to assess the cardiac diastolic function.

Webinars

asaWEB - Keeping Community on Country

This webinar, presented by Gail Crawford, explores the delivery of accessible, culturally safe ultrasound services in remote and Aboriginal communities. It highlights the importance of connection to Country, the barriers patients face in accessing imaging, and practical approaches to culturally safe care, including effective communication, flexibility, respect for community protocols, and collaboration with Aboriginal health workers. The webinar also examines the wider role of sonographers in improving access to care and supporting positive patient outcomes.

Webinars

asaWEB - I think there is a cardiac anomaly. What to say and not to say

This webinar, presented by Lisa Clarke, highlights practical communication strategies, including how to give an early “warning shot,” explain challenges in obtaining standard views, tailor information to the patient’s level of health literacy, and provide a clear follow-up pathway involving specialist review and support services, such as genetic counselling.

Webinars

asaWEB - Is your probe safe to use right now?

This webinar proudly brought to you by Lumicare outlines how to verify an ultrasound probe is safe to use by meeting guidelines and diagnostic imaging accreditation requirements for reprocessing and traceability.
