    Practice Topics

    From specialty areas to research


    arenas to cutting-edge medical
    procedures, ultrasound impacts
    the practice and delivery of
    medical care.
    Explore the topics below as each
    contains medial ultrasound
    information, peer-reviewed articles,
    research results, helpful resources,
    and educational components.

    Obstetric Ultrasound
    This topic addresses all aspects of
    obstetric ultrasound.

    Point-of-Care Ultrasound
    Point-of-Care Ultrasound, or POCUS,
    brings portable ultrasound technology
    directly to the patient's bedside. It
    provides real-time visualization of
    anatomical structures, aiding
    clinicians in making immediate
    assessments and informed treatment
    decisions.

    POCUS is versatile, supporting a wide


    range of clinical applications from
    assessing trauma injuries to guiding
    procedures like vascular access and
    nerve blocks. Its portability reduces
    the need for patient transport and
    enables quick interventions in
    emergency situations. With no
    ionizing radiation involved, POCUS
    o!ers a safer imaging alternative,
    particularly for vulnerable
    populations. Ultimately, POCUS
    enhances patient care by delivering
    timely diagnostics and improving
    clinical outcomes.

    Join the AIUM's POCUS community by


    getting started here. We also invite
    you to explore our education, training
    guidelines, practice parameters,
    o#cial statements, and case
    challenges for members below.

    imaging of the musculoskeletal
    system.

    Basic Science and Instrumentation


    This topic explores the science and
    technology associated with medical
    ultrasound, including diagnostic
    applications of ultrasound, bioe!ects,
    and technological advancement.

    Gynecologic Ultrasound
    This topic focuses on sonographic
    imaging of the female pelvis that
    includes the uterus and ovaries and,
    when appropriate, the fallopian tube.

    General and Abdominal Ultrasound


    This topic covers everything from
    general abdominal imaging to thyroid,
    breast, and more.

    Fetal Echocardiography
    This topic focuses on the evaluation of
    the fetal heart with ultrasound
    imaging, including assessment of
    structural and functional aspects of
    the fetal cardiovascular system and
    feto-placental circulation.

    Cardiovascular Ultrasound
    This topic explores the science and
    practice of both cardiac and vascular
    ultrasound.

    Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound
    This topic focuses on the
    development of ultrasound contrast
    agents and their safe and e#cacious
    use for ultrasound examinations.

    Dermatology
    This topic focuses on applications
    and development of ultrasound in
    dermatology.

    Artificial Intelligence in Ultrasound


    Artificial intelligence is transforming
    how medical professionals use
    ultrasound. Today, artificial
    intelligence can assist with
    examination accuracy, diagnoses,
    measurements, and more. Explore
    the growing role artificial intelligence
    plays in patient care.

    Elastography
    This topic covers the use of the
    various forms of ultrasound
    elastography for disease diagnosis
    and monitoring throughout the body.

    High Frequency Clinical and


    Preclinical Imaging
    This topic focuses on the
    development of high and very high
    frequency ultrasound techniques in
    areas such as pre-clinical animal
    imaging, musculoskeletal imaging,
    dermatology, dental and many other
    applications.

    Interventional-Intraoperative
    Ultrasound
    This topic covers both diagnosis and
    treatment in invasive procedures,
    including percutaneous interventions,
    as well as surgical procedures
    performed in the operating room.

    Neurosonology
    This topic focuses on sonography of
    the brain, cerebral circulation, the
    spine, and all peripheral nerves and
    muscles.

    Pediatric Ultrasound
    This topic covers the use of
    ultrasound in diagnosing and treating
    children's diseases.

    interest include diagnostic evaluation
    for infertility, trauma and cancer as
    well as ultrasound guided treatment
    for these diseases.

    Sonography
    A diagnostic medical sonographer
    uses ultrasound equipment to form
    images of many parts of the body
    used to help doctors diagnose and
    treat many medical conditions.

    Ensure your practice and


    performance of ultrasound exams are
    safe for you and the patient with
    these resources on topics including
    quality assurance, labeling of images,
