Ultrasound
A small hospital's experience mitigating sonographer injuries
Small hospitals without onsite access to high-end imaging modalities such as CT or MRI rely heavily on the diagnostic capabilities of ultrasound. Combined with rising financial pressures and case loads, this can result in high vulnerability to work-related injuries. Contributing writers Rob VanDoninck and Karen Atkins share how their hospital tackled this issue.
