Description

One of the ever-growing screening methods in the healthcare industry today is Medical Ultrasound (Ultrasonography) commonly known for assessing the uterus and monitoring fetal growth during pregnancy. Ultrasound scans can also be used to view internal body structures and organs. The use of this scanning method among medical practitioners has been rapidly increasing because of its effectiveness, flexibility, radiation-free, time-saving technique and cost-saving compared to other scanning methods like X-rays, CT scan and MRI. Because of these risk-free advantages, diagnostic teams are moving towards making ultrasound scanning a primary imaging modality when making a diagnosis for many diseases and conditions.

According to the Bureau of Labour Statistics, the employment demand of medical sonographers is projected to increase by 17% between 2019 and 2029.

With the surge of ultrasound scanning usage over the years, the healthcare industry is struggling to cope with filling the professional vacancies for the execution and interpretation of ultrasound scanning. Most radiographers, nurses and doctors have not been exposed to the curriculum and training this diagnostic method. Due to the lack of manpower, medical institutions are now investing efforts and resources into recruiting sonographers and equipping staff with sonography skills.
