Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month
Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month is an annual event intended to bring attention to the benefits of medical ultrasound, and highlight its value in the healthcare system.
Most of the general public is aware of the importance of ultrasound imaging in pregnancy, but many people lack familiarity with the uses of sonography for other diagnostic purposes, like vascular imaging or 3D or 4D sonography. Sharing information and educating people on the various uses of medical ultrasound can serve a double purpose; it can heighten comfort with procedures when they’re recommended by a family doctor or specialist, and it may also afford an opportunity for ultrasound professionals to take pride in the very important work that they do.
Give Yourself the Gift of Health
The leadership at BB Imaging understands how hard you work and we appreciate the demands of your job. We would like to take this opportunity to highlight ways for you to take care of yourself.
Return On Investment (ROI) for Sonographers
What’s the number one factor that individuals look for during a job search? Return on Investment (ROI). ROI is term that several people are familiar with, but do not know the formal term of. It calculates the profitability ratio, or the profit gained by pursuing a particular investment. One of the highest-ROI jobs in the current job market is sonography. A few reasons why sonography fulfills a top ROI is because of an all-encompassing training, salary benefits, constant demand in the economy, and gender equality.

There are a variety of factors that can increase a woman’s risk for preterm labor; these include high blood pressure during pregnancy, chronic conditions such as heart disease or diabetes, being younger than 17 years old, smoking or using street drugs, and previously having a preterm baby. However, there is a better way than just taking note of these factors, it's the cervical length assessment.
Resolute on Resolutions
America has always used the new year to make a new start. New Year's resolutions are an exciting opportunity to challenge ourselves on what we think we're capable of doing...or they crash and burn within a week of trying. So how many of us succeed in staying resolute on our resolutions? How many of us make resolutions at all? We try and answer these questions and many more as we look into this beloved (or bemoaned) American tradition.
How to Think like a Rookie
Whoever thought being a Rookie was a good thing? Well Liz Wiseman, author of Rookie Smarts did. She turned what was once thought as a disadvantage, and revealed the hidden advantages of being a newcomer of any age and in any field. We thought this idea is too good not too share and is particularly applicable to healthcare, where the learning never stops.
