Objective: Cardiac sonographers are challenged on a daily basis to provide excellent frontline care for a variety of patients. They face challenges of promoting quality over quantity and continued support for education and training efforts. Echocardiography requires an operator-dependent sonographer with independent judgement and critical thinking skills to obtain and integrate diagnostic information during the echo examination. The growth of echocardiographic procedures has increased the demand for qualified cardiac sonographers to cover the workload. Materials and Methods: Occupational employment and wage statistics, educational opportunities, simulation labs and clinical sites, national registries, and ASE standards for a quality echo educational environment are discussed. Results: The national curriculum for echocardiography is extensive and requires adequate clinical hands-on training to promote an opportunity for the student to become a competent cardiac sonographer. Credentialing in echocardiography demonstrates to the patients, healthcare professionals, and employers of medical facilities that the cardiac sonographer is a dedicated professional in their respective field. Conclusions: Additional accredited cardiovascular programs with active credentialed clinical sites to fulfill this shortage. The skillset has increased with new procedures requiring training in advanced imaging techniques such as three-dimensional imaging, strain, tissue Doppler, and contrast-enhanced imaging.

A tremendous need for sonographers and vascular technologists exists, however it would be informative to look back at a time when a similar demand occurred. A review of the history of sonography is provided and how it impacted the Center for Medical Ultrasound at Wake Forest University. This historical review also marks the rise of early sonography education and how it evolved into a range of options such as a 4-year Bachelor of Science degree, a 2-year Associate Science degree, or a multiweek certificate program. No matter the length of the program, or the style in which it is delivered, the following basic key ingredients are considered requisite: • Access to newer model ultrasound equipment systems • Dynamic classroom lectures (online, live, or a combination of both) • Active clinical experiences under the guidance of an experienced and enthusiastic sonography expert, specific to a sonographic specialty (OB, cardiac, abdominal, etc.). Without all these key ingredients, the educational program will not be effective and sustainable. Sonography is a visual science and vital to display images, for the interpreting physician. The sonographer and physicians must work closely as a unified team. An effective working team (physician and sonographer) allows for trading ideas and suggesting possible answers to the diagnostically difficult patient cases.

Objective: To establish normative data on the width of the acromioclavicular (AC) joint space using sonography, based on a selected Nigerian cohort without any shoulder injury or pathology. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on the normal AC joints of randomly selected Nigerians. A sonographer performed the examination and obtained all the width measurements of AC joint space, using a GE LOGIQP6 ultrasound system and a multiple-frequency linear transducer. Results: The width of the AC joint space was equal on both sides, measuring 5.6 ± 1.2 mm for the right and 5.6 ± 1.2 mm for the left (P = .701). The mean width of both joint spaces differed between men and women, with the men having a wider space (P < .05). Age had a strong negative predictive relationship, with the AC joint space width and both joint spaces decreasing with age (P < .001). Weight and body mass index had weak negative predictive relationships with both joint space widths (P < .001). Participant height had a very weak positive predictive relationship with both joint space widths (P < .05). Conclusion: Normative data on the width of the AC joint space, in a randomly selected Nigerian cohort, are provided and may be clinically useful in the ongoing sonographic assessment of the AC joint.
