The ASA has officially launched the Sonographer Awareness Campaign across Australia and New Zealand. This national campaign shines a light on the essential role sonographers play in healthcare and raises public recognition of our profession. Too often seen as “just image-takers,” sonographers are in fact highly trained medical professionals whose work supports patients, saves lives and strengthens our health system. Sonographers make a difference every day.
Watch the videos and find out more about the campaign: loom.ly/5iCsmlw

Heartbroken after seeing a young patient with no medical history, end up with a BIFFL GRADE II dissection of the vertebral artery and subsequent acute PICA infarct immediately after a neck adjustment from the chiropractor. This has to stop.
Chiropractors - you HAVE to stop.

Bored in the hospital so I put all my symptoms into ChatGPT & asked it to list the most likely dx’s in order. Of course, anxiety was at the top of the list. So I ran it again but as a male pt, and to absolutely no ones surprise, anxiety wasn’t even ON the list of possible dx’s 🙃

"The lack of regulation means that those sonographers who do get it wrong are not held accountable and don't get the same opportunity for improvement"

I successfully defend my thesis yesterday. Final touches on my minor corrections, then on to getting the findings out and about. Grateful to have had such positive, insightful examiners offer their time and experience 😀 @StrudwickDr
Today is my first day in a different role at UniSA, so this means there is space for any sonographers interested in exploring academic-land as part of a wonderful teaching team. I reckon part-time roles will be considered.

According to #Medicare, imaging a woman's ovaries is worth less dollars than imaging a mans testicles (despite the latter being significantly easier and quicker!)
@Mark_Butler_MP @SenKatyG when can Australian women expect better than this?
@asumultrasound @asasonography @ranzcog
An ultrasound of the scrotum attracts a higher government rebate than an ultrasound of a breast. It's just one example of the Gender Medicare Gap, that is seeing women paying more for health services.
Dr Kara Thompson shares more.

For years I've been trying to get any proctoring company to agree to a study where I try to cheat. None have agreed. I've had legal advice not to do such a study without permission from the vendors.
I'm delighted to share that someone else has done one: ris.utwente.nl/ws/portalfile…
