Dr. De Lancer, you ask a question that many have asked. In general sonography (Abdomen and OB/GYN) usually no more than two an hour in peak rush times. It depends on how detailed the studies are, but at bottom line, two an hour average is too much if it is all day every day. This is based on my experience of 29 years and not on any scientific study.

For you second question I would say anytime the sonographer is rushed enough to not be able to focus on the diagnosis, that is too many. There needs to be a bit of flexibility to allow for the unexpected twins or other detailed study.

Also do not forget that over work, continuously over a period of months or years can injure the sonographer. Repeated Stress Injuries are well documented now. See:

Hope this helps. Terry

I am obstetrician, gynecologist and sonologist.

We have troubles in our hospital sonografy department for the "overdemand" in ultrasound studies.

What is your opinion in the following isues:

1-How many studies are reasonable for each sonographer in one day?

2-How afect the excesive number of patients in the individual and department quality?

Thanks for your cooperation!!

Hello Everyone:

ARDMS began delivering examinations at the University of Hong Kong on August 8th. Two candidates sat for ARDMS examinations (Neuro and CPI), which were routinely and securely delivered with all data safely transmitted back to Promissor as per normal procedure. The ARDMS Hong Kong examinations and processes are exactly the same as here in the United States and Canada. Several other Candidates are scheduled to sit for ARDMS examinations in Hong Kong over the next couple of weeks.

Congratulations everyone as ARDMS continues to increase the number of credentialed individuals to promote quality and patient safety through credentialing and continuing competency of ultrasound professionals.

Also, a big thank you to Promissor who has been a great partner in assisting ARDMS in meeting our strategic initiatives, particularly in the global expansion program.

Regards,

Dale

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.
