I used that Ausonics quite a bit. The machine with the case and a transducer or two, wires, etc, was 40 lbs. I weighed it. Not a bad machine, and certainly handy. But you traveled in style! I had no cart! Had to find some kind of table wherever I went. And I was driving a 1975 Volkswagen Dasher. Interspec, huh? That really takes me back. Pretty good machine for echo! And I didn't know that Larry Lee was involved with sonography at all. Right now he owns (in one way or another) a string of nuclear cardiology labs all over New York State. And my last comment....what ever happened to Diasonics?

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.
