Image Review
- Weekly with ultrasound faculty
-Reviewing ultrasound images is almost as important as acquiring them. To assure that you are performing high- quality sonography, your images and videos will all be reviewed by a director to assure that they support your interpretations. We refer to this as internal QA. In addition, there is external QA which compares your findings to “official” findings. To further hone your skills and prepare you for a directorship of your own, you will review other peoples’ ultrasounds and give them feedback on their scans.
