Another Wonderful Sonographer Praised: Marsha Neumyer

I have no problem telling the world who the great sonographers of my era are.  If I met Marsha, it was in passing, and I am krill in an ocean of baleen whales.  Meetings of a national or international nature are very impersonal.  But, she was a defining person in the world of vascular sonography.  I learned from her books the skills I needed to become successful as well accurate in the diagnosis of vascular ultrasound.  Why am I pasting this into an echo blog?  Because I want to.  Maybe she will read it.  Anyway, welcome to Echo world.  I have a few things to post in the morning that are of interest to all.  Be sure to bookmark this blog, and visit wwwsonographersblog.blogspot.com  (Copy and paste exactly)


Newswise — The Distinguished Sonographer Award will be presented to Marsha Neumyer, BS, RVT, at the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) 2013 Annual Convention at the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York, New York, on April 7, 2013. Established in 1997, the Distinguished Sonographer Award is a means of recognizing and honoring current or retired AIUM members who have significantly contributed to the growth and development of medical ultrasound. This annual presentation honors an individual whose outstanding contributions to the development of medical ultrasound warrant special merit.

Thanks Sonoworld and AIUM

Welcome to Echo World

This first post is difficult.  Like a baby taking first steps.  I will plunge on.  I am the host of Sonographers blog.  wwwsonographersblog.blogspot.com   I am an Echocardiographer.  My first love is to look at the heart.  Let's  talk about current issues.  myocardial heart disease.  Why has the FDA blocked myocardial contrast? I am talking about Definity and Optison. Because the FDA want's us all to undergo nuclear studies. to make money for the people who own nuclear machines they are paying for. Let's discuss it.  Peace all. Invite your buddies.  I will post this this Google plus.  Please log in to ICUS.
