Sonography is a wonderful imaging modality which has many advantages over other modalities. It is becoming the most underutilized imaging modality, in India in particular, for many reasons. The first and foremost is the PCPNDT Act and the harassment going with it, acting as a deterrent for Radiologists to shun it as a career. But more important reason is lack of systematic education in post graduate programs. There is rampant deficiency of understanding of its basic principles which is essential for the optimal and better application in interpretation and diagnosis. There is tilt towards investigation based medicine with almost death of clinical medicine. Performer of sonography has the unique advantage of proximity with the patient when performing the sonography, enabling conversation, which information will help the performer of sonography to modify the technique, look for additional areas or techniques & get a better diagnosis, which is illustrated in many lecture videos on www.sonoshre.in. The deteriorating communication between the clinician and performer again affects the yield out of sonography which is highlighted in many case scenarios of the section “Image to Diagnosis” on this platform. This section illustrates with case scenarios how various aspects of basic physics, basic principles of sonography, clinical information, logic and modification and extension of techniques help the performer to arrive at a better diagnosis which is crucial to that particular patient.
