Excerpt

Sonography-based clinical assessment continues to gain traction as an essential clinical tool throughout the world [1, 2]. In that context, it is critical to recognize the truly global effort to introduce, popularize, and further advance the use of sonography in everyday clinical practice across the planet [1, 3, 4]. Sonology, or the science of performing bedside ultrasound exam and the associated clinical interpretation, is now an established scientific discipline that empowers the bedside practitioner to not only acquire relevant anatomic images, but to analyze their meaning, and to determine the clinical course of action accordingly [5, 6]. More importantly, due to sonographic equipment miniaturization, sonologists are no longer restricted to the office or hospital settings, but can assist patients in a variety of prehospital, geographically remote and austere environments [79]. …
