Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month
October is medical ultrasound awareness month; this is an opportunity to raise understanding and awareness about ultrasound scanning and the many uses it has.
Most people are aware that ultrasound scans are used for pregnancies, but ultrasound scans are used for so much more than that.
Sonographers change the lives of many on a day to day basis with the information they provide and illnesses they find during an ultrasound scan, if found early enough, blood clots, heart defects and blocked arteries can all be diagnosed and treated hopefully in time to prevent any further serious illnesses occurring.
What is Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month?
Medical ultrasound awareness month (MUAM) is a month-long campaign that celebrates the contribution sonographers make to modern medicine. The sonographer is a highly qualified healthcare professional who uses high frequency sound waves to create detailed images of various areas of the human anatomy. The sound waves bounce off of internal organs and return to an ultrasound device, which transforms them into real-time images. As an imaging modality, ultrasound has very specific uses, providing information that X-rays or other radiologic procedures oftencannot.
