Worldwide, it is likely that much of the ultrasonography currently performed is carried out by individuals, with in fact, little or no formal training. Training should be a priority, as a significant benefit in health care will result from improved skills in the performance and interpretation of ultrasound examinations. Uniform standards for training physicians do not generally exist . Many ultrasonography practitioners do not have adequate experience, and an even greater number would benefit from additional training. However, educational opportunities are often limited, and a standard curriculum to ensure the mastery of minimum essential skills has not been defined. In developed countries the greatest need is for to maintain and increase levels of competence, whereas in developing countries both entry-level training and continuing education are needs. The appropriate training of the users of diagnostic ultrasound is the most important requisite for the improvement and rational application of ultrasonography in medical practice. The use of diagnostic ultrasound by individuals with inadequate knowledge and skills increases the likelihood of unnecessary patient examinations and misdiagnosis and imposes additional costs on the health care system. Misinterpretation of ultrasound images is a significant risk in ultrasound diagnosis. Because ultrasound scanning is operator-dependent, it is imperative that the sonographer has proper training in order to achieve the expected diagnostic capabilities of the technique. The skill of effective scanning lies in the operator’s ability to maximize the diagnostic infor- mation available and in being able to interpret the appearances properly. This is dependent upon: (1)Clinical knowledge—knowing what to look for and why, knowing how to interpret the appearances on the image and an understanding of physiological and pathological processes. (2)Technical skill—knowing how to obtain the most useful and relevant images, knowledge of artifacts and avoiding the pitfalls of scanning. (3)Knowledge of the equipment being used—i.e. making the most of your machine. The operator must use the controls to their best effect. There are numerous ways in which different manufacturers allow us to make compromises during the scanning process in order to improve image quality and enhance diagnostic information. It is far better to have a scan performed properly on a low-tech piece of equipment by a knowledgeable and well-trained operator than to have a poorly performed scan on the latest high-tech machine . A good operator will get the best out of even the lowliest scanning device and produce a result that will promote the correct patient management. A misleading result from a top-of-the-range scanner can be highly damaging and at best delay the correct treatment or at worst promote incorrect management. The operator should know the limitations of the scan in terms of equipment capabilities, operator skills, clinical problems and patient limitations, take those limitations into account and communicate them where necessary. DR.UDAYAKUMAR & DR. MEGALADEVI form the teaching faculty and they both have more than 26years teaching experience each. They will ensure that the training imparted will fulfill the goals outlined above. More than Two Thousand eight hundred doctors from all over India and Abroad have been trained at GENESIS SCANS ULTRASOUND TRAINING CENTER.
