Ultrasound Specialty Home Page
The Ultrasound Team at the Prince of Wales Hospital is a professional
team dedicated to the provision of a high quality clinical ultrasound
service, comprehensive training and innovative research. Formed with
the genesis of the Department of Diagnostic Radiology and Organ Imaging
sixteen years ago, the ultrasound team has expanded to incorporate
all aspects of medical ultrasound.
We provide a complete range of ultrasound services from Obstetrics
and Gynaecology to Vascular to Breast, Head and Neck, Musculoskeletal,
Paediatrics and Genitourinary. Specialist expertise is at hand in
all these areas enabling us to provide a high standard, diverse clinical
service.
The Ultrasound Team is proud of our regionally recognised in-house
sonographer-training programme. This training programme strives to
ensure the provision of high quality of training to local trainee
sonographers, the majority of whom continue to work at the Prince
of Wales. In addition, there is an ongoing continuous education programme
for experienced sonographers with regular sonography updates, case
and topic presentations. A large, well-documented and catalogued ultrasound
film library has been established for teaching and perusal. .
We have an active research programme with ongoing research in vascular,
abdominal obstetrics and genitourinary ultrasound. Members of the
Ultrasound Team regularly present research papers at local and international
conferences and publish in peer-reviewed international journals.
We are proud of what we have achieved over the past sixteen years.
Through mutual support and encouragement, the Ultrasound Team has
grown in numbers and depth. We shall continue to embrace the new ultrasound
technologies as they emerge and can only but be excited by even more
interesting times ahead.
Please check out our journey from time to time.
