I'd like to introduce you to my sonographer,
Susan Axamethy RDMS, who has been contributing to my success since 1983.
Many fetuses have benefited from her prenatal sonographec diagnoses, which
enabled the neonatologist to attend to the problem soon after birth. Susan
does our OB sonographec evaluations, assists me with amniocentesis, and
helps in general abdominal sonography. And now, let's hear from Susan.
- Dr. Mary
Welcome
to Ultrasound!
Ultrasound is the best thing that has
happened for women in a long time. The ability to see inside the body without
surgery or radiation gives sonograms a special place in diagnostic imaging.
The human body, at 75% water, is a
perfect medium for ultrasound. Over the years, the equipment has been improved
by researchers and manufacturers striving to bring more information with sharper
and more defined images. Dr. Wilson calls my scans "Sue sonos".
I was very fortunate as an X-ray
technician to get the opportunity to train at Yale in the ultrasound program
that only accepts four technicians a year to become Master Sonographers. Yale
New Haven Hospital is a mecca of ultrasound technology information, with Dr.
Kenneth Taylor as a pioneer and promoter of ultrasound from it's infancy. My
forte in ultrasound is teaching, and when I met Dr. Mary Wilson in 1982, she
instantly revived my "Yale spirit" and we have been working together ever
since.
I am celebrating my 20th year as a sonographer. I am challenged by Dr. Wilson's
knowledge and expertise in obstetrics and gynecology and her accomplished
skills in transvaginal sonography. Her never ending desire to continue to
learn is a credit to the science and technology of medicine. She cares to
know about her patients and that is the difference that her practice has
over all others.
- Sonographically yours, Susan
