This is a lecture-based educational workshop featuring expert-led live scanning demonstrations by Dr Lisa Hackett using the VINNO V10 and cart-based ultrasound systems. Participants will explore detailed shoulder sonoanatomy, common pathologies, scanning techniques and clinical applications through presentations, live demonstrations and interactive case discussions.

• Understand the detailed sonographic anatomy of the shoulder and identify key anatomical structures.
• Describe the sonographic assessment of the rotator cuff and recognise common associated pathologies.
• Explain the role of dynamic shoulder ultrasound assessment and its clinical applications.
• Differentiate between normal and abnormal sonographic appearances of the shoulder.
• Understand advanced image optimisation techniques and the influence of machine settings on image quality.
• Interpret shoulder ultrasound findings through expert-led live scanning demonstrations and clinical case reviews.
• Gain greater confidence in recognising and understanding common shoulder ultrasound findings.

Sonographer & Clinical Trainer

Dr Lisa M. Hackett has spent more than 30 years working with ultrasound across orthopaedics, sports medicine, rheumatology, reproductive medicine, and more recently, facial aesthetics. She began her career in Sydney in 1993, working alongside hand surgeons at a time when musculoskeletal ultrasound was still being defined.

She holds a PhD in Medicine from UNSW, a Master of Science in Research from UNSW, is a Fellow of the Australasian Sonographers Association, an Accredited Registered Sonographer (ASAR). She has authored and co-authored more than 55 peer-reviewed publications and is a recipient of the ASA’s Sonographer of the Year, Educator of the Year, and Researcher of the Year awards.

Teaching has been central to her work for over 25 years. Her approach is always the same — it’s not just about acquiring an image, it’s about understanding what you’re seeing and knowing what to do next.
