There is a huge learning curve associated with post-processing of volumes and the reality is, few physicians have or will take the time to learn how to manipulate volumes. Volume sonography works great in a research setting when there is ample time between patients and the physician and sonographer can work together on the volumes, but in the real world, the way I have seen it work is that a sonographer who is skilled at manipulating volumes, uses volume sonography to present unique and interesting 2D images for the physician to review as part of the entire examination. Regarding fetal echo and volume imaging....the fastest volume acquisition time of 7 seconds or so seems like an eternity when I'm doing it...loss of the ideal opportunity is frequent during that time. aes On Fri, Mar 14, 2008 at 7:49 PM, art fougner, md <evsono@pipeline.com> wrote: > Very nice ... but in the real world ... as You acquire the volume, the > fetus often decides he doesn't like the paparazzi.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
