Office Ultrasound

Dr Kollias has been performing breast and thyroid ultrasound since 2001. After attending his first ultrasound course in Vienna in 1999, he undertook further training courses in surgeon-performed ultrasound to improve his diagnostic and biopsy skills. 

Surgeon-performed ultrasound has been described as “an extension of the surgeon’s arm” and is a vital part in providing comprehensive breast and thyroid services at the surgeon’s rooms. Services include breast ultrasound, thyroid and parathyroid ultrasound, ultrasound-guided biopsy and seroma drainage as well as soft tissue and hernia ultrasound. 

Dr Kollias has conducted workshops to help train surgeons in this area, and was involved in the curriculum development for the Certificate in Clinical Performed Ultrasound (CCPU, Breast and Endocrine) under the auspices of the Australian Society of Ultrasound Medicine (ASUM) of which he is a current member.
