Episode 4: Clinical governance of MSK ultrasound

Episode 1: How to start your journey in MSK Ultrasound - Stu, Rob and Dave discuss the start of their journey into MSK Ultrasound - why did they start? how did it impact their clinical practice? challenges they encountered. 

Such an important topic - discussing quality assurance - does your ultrasound system perform as it should? Should you report? Image storage, audit and policies...lots of interesting discussion around point of care roles and the challenges you may face.

It is a minefield and a topic that we often receive questions about - what system do I need for MSK ultrasound? Different types of ultrasound systems, different probes and should I buy or lease and what is a warranty?!. We discuss these issues in this episode along with special guest, Douglas Ogg from Orca Medical. A must listen if you are venturing into this field.

The team discuss through the basics of what musculoskeletal ultrasound and what structures can be visualised. Several small presentations - tendon, joint, bone, nerve, muscle and ligament. Exploring normal appearances and also examples of pathology. More resources available on our website www.theultrasoundsite.co.uk, and you can watch the video footage for this podcast.
