Abstract
This brief overview of the current state of clinician performed focused ultrasound (Emergency PoCUS) by emergency practitioners in Australia/New Zealand (ANZ) has touched on its history, scope of practice both mandated and context-dependent, complex embedding in clinical diagnostic reasoning and range of governance issues. It is the author's hope that an ongoing understanding and interplay between the three professional groups most closely involved in the use of ultrasound to improve patient care and health-care flow can continue to work closely together for the ultimate benefit of patients in multiple contexts in ANZ and beyond.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences (JMRS) is an international and multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal that accepts manuscripts related to medical imaging / diagnostic radiography, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, medical ultrasound / sonography, and the complementary disciplines of medical physics, radiology, radiation oncology, nursing, psychology and sociology. Manuscripts may take the form of: original articles, review articles, commentary articles, technical evaluations, case series and case studies. JMRS promotes excellence in international medical radiation science by the publication of contemporary and advanced research that encourages the adoption of the best clinical, scientific and educational practices in international communities. JMRS is the official professional journal of the Australian Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy (ASMIRT) and the New Zealand Institute of Medical Radiation Technology (NZIMRT).
