Essentials for setting up practice in clinician performed ultrasound

Abstract

Pelvic floor ultrasound is best performed by a clinician with detailed knowledge of the pathophysiology of pelvic floor function and dysfunction. Ultrasound imaging may be considered an extension of clinical examination or part of a functional assessment of voiding and pelvic floor dysfunction. This chapter outlines the considerations for choosing ultrasound equipment and procedures for setting up clinician-performed ultrasound practice.
