Thanks Neil for elaborate illustration. Hadrly I can add a word. A sonographer or Sonologist must love this profession & get some interest in diagnosing & helping the patients. Otherwise with this enduring repetitive tasks he will be bored down. And he must not forget his own well being eg postures, a good work station ,chances of repititive injuries, physiotherapy etc

I must add one more....the sonographer must have some sort of faith or spirituality. This is not to be a religious lecture but after many years of imaging, I find one must have faith to deal with some of the things we see. When we meet the habitual aborter, malformed fetus, or cancer we must reach into ourselves to find peace and believe that there is a reason for this sadness. If not, it becomes quite difficult to deal with the sadness and tragedy we come across. IMHO.

I agree with susan " .the sonographer must have some sort of faith or spirituality.". A sonographer must believe in himself and the work he does.sometime we come across certain scenario where our research plays an important role and whole treatment depends on that....
