You can call SDMS Laura Logan and order over 40 articles on MSI in
sonographers. Since there are many MSI's in different parts of the
body there
is not just one simple answer. I wish there was. I will try and cut
and paste
the bibliography to this email for you all to see what articles you
can
receive for only $20 which is the copy cost.
We are currently having our survey translated into Chinese because
of interest
in China and significant problems there uncovered during my last
with the U/S
delegation. Australia has also contacted me with the same request in
the past
few weeks.
There is a "wellness" tuitorial at the upcoming Orlando meeting when
this and
other work related topics will be covered see your meeting brochure.
ps terry please post to the other list serves if you would like to.
