Supporting Our Team Through Creating Awareness: The Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound Sonographer Relations Committee Response to the 2016 Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography Consensus Conference on Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders

Ultrasound Q. 2018 Jun;34(2):43-46. doi: 10.1097/RUQ.0000000000000345.

Abstract

Musculoskeletal injuries have been and remain a significant issue for sonographers. Despite its importance, the topic of musculoskeletal injury in sonographers has received little attention in the radiology literature. Our goal is to bring this extremely important issue to the forefront, with the hope of initiating conversations and actions leading to improved workplace practices for sonographers.
