Re: Equipment History in Ultrasound/ Echocardiography Thread From: Terry J DuBose (tjdubose@juno.com) Sun Jun 3 09:29:35 2001 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Phillip Ramm: "Re: Octoson History was RE: memories" Previous message: DRoss38040@aol.com: "Re: Equipment History in Ultrasound/ Echocardiography Thread" Maybe in reply to: Gerson Lichtenberg: "Equipment History in Ultrasound/ Echocardiography Thread" Gerson, this is precisely the kind of personal recollections that this web site was designed to archive... and fits perfectly in the definition of a "polybiography"... the history by many of the many events leading up to the current state of sonography. Thanks... I hope this encourages others to add their recollections, including names, dates, & places. Sonography is still young, but the early days in the last half of the 20th century need to be documented before those who participated forget or are gone. I am working on interviewing the folks who had the first ultrasound machine here in Arkansas. Eventually, I will also document the beginnings of sonography in Austin and Central Texas... Someone else will have to do the Houston Medical Center around MD Anderson, which is where the first unit in Texas may have been... I believe... but do not know for sure. Thanks again for your participation... feel free to add more as they may occur to you.

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.
