There is no greater joy than sharing one’s knowledge and experience with those who can utilise them. This is the very reason for the existence of this online educational website on sonography. Sonography is a passion which I have indulged in, for the past 40 years and it continues to kindle the fire of intellect and curiosity in mind to explore more. Hence, here is a forum to share my understanding of the subject and to provide an opportunity to discuss various topics related to ultrasonography.
Sonography is a wonderful, economical and easily available imaging modality which can go to the bedside of the patient. It is becoming the most underutilized imaging modality in India for many reasons. The first and foremost is the PCPNDT ACT and the harassment going with it. But the more important reason is the lack of systematic education in post graduate programs. I was fortunate to grow with this modality. So I thought I will spread the use of this modality as a way of giving back to society.
I had been a regular faculty in most of the national and regional conferences and CMEs on sonography for the past four decades. I was also the course director for the on-site training programs at SONOSCAN Institute of Medical Ultrasound which was popular for the dynamic supervision and hands-on experience. Besides this, I had an interactive online program as www.sboopathy.com some years back which was well received and used by members. With the improved communication by WhatsApp, the interaction on this site stopped. During conferences I addressed, I had been requested to contribute more. But with my advancing age, I had to restrict my travel. So the best option left to me is to have an online sharing of knowledge in the form of an online educational platform – www.sonoshare.in
This ,not for profit initiative, is the effort of a single person for a long period of 40 years. It has involved so much of my time which truly belonged to my family – my beloved wife and children and also my own personal nonprofessional time. I hope you all appreciate this and defer from piracy in all forms. I welcome constructive criticism to improve. Maintenance of this program involves finances contributed solely by me, since I did not want to look partial to certain sponsors and also to avoid conflict of interest. I hope to improve the quality of this program and expand to other contributors which I hope to do be from the subscriptions as a form of crowd funding. I hope all of you will cooperate and also get benefitted.
