We publish extensively and lecture widely on all aspects of ultrasound as evidenced by our sponsorship of two body imaging courses annually, one in July on Cape Cod and one in February in Puerto Rico. We have special interests in color and duplex Doppler sonography and frequently performed vascular examinations include liver transplants, TIPS evaluation, portal hypertension, renal transplants, possible torsion of ovary and scrotum, impotence and prostates for elevated PSA or palpable abnormalities. Residents are an integral component of the section and they are expected to work closely with the sonographers, fellows and staff. They are required to familiarize themselves with the equipment during their very first rotation. Many residents elect to concentrate in ultrasound for blocks of time which significantly improves their scanning skills.
Residents are encourage d to engage in research projects as time permits.
