I concur with Terry. I am from Australia and from experience (not formal
research) I also feel that 2 per hour is too much if it is sustained. 18
week morphology studies need a minimum of 45 minutes and if the pregnancy is
abnormal this extends to however long it takes to make a diagnosis. Twins
need twice as long and difficult third trimester studies can be as much of a
time consumer. The quality of work in the best of departments can easily &
quickly degrade if the operator is rushed and under time pressure.
There is no substitute for a high index of suspicion and this is very hard
to maintain in the presence of constant overbooking.

What is your opinion in the following isues:
1-How many studies are reasonable for each sonographer in one day?

quality?
Thanks for your cooperation!!

Subject: Success in Hong Kong ARDMS Exam Delivery
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
