Personal Statement
"Technology today has allowed us to advance to new depths
in multiple areas of medicine. Advances in the field of ultrasound
have led us from the "dark ages" of B-scans to the modern-day,
real-time gray-scale displays which have allowed ultrasound to become
an indispensable tool in the field of medical imaging. The ability
to perform superb real-time studies has allowed for the advancement
of interventional ultrasound where various biopsies, needle localizations,
and drainage procedures are performed swiftly, safely and with unsurpassed
precision.
"I am enthusiastic about the future as technological advancements
in the field of ultrasound contrast agents, 3-D and harmonic imaging
promise to preserve ultrasound as a front-line imaging modality."
