i hope to get in our department in dallah hospital saudiaraia riyadh pob 87833 cod 11652, 3D OR 4DAllen Worrall <jworrall@alaska.net> wrote:Unfortunately many large radiology departments cannot get the administration to spend the money getting new machines, space to put the machines, and doctors and sonographers to examine the patients. Resources are often less than required, particularly when the radiology department is in a large hospital. I am sure Terry can expound on that subject much more than I can. Allen

That is what my "guru" Dr. Suresh, mediscan systems, Chennai does. Logical solution.

The volumes can be obtained quickly, and looked at later by the radiologist. Has this speaker published her lecture anywhere? I thought it was very good and very thought-provoking. Allen
>----- Original Message ----- 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: http://www.sdms.org/msi/default.asp Hope this helps. Terry jose de lancer <josedelancer@yahoo.com> wrote: Hi, i am Dr. Jose De Lancer from Dominican Republic. 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!!

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.
