South Africa is at a crossroad with regards to the quality of healthcare services. Ultrasound technology can play a critical role in healthcare provision, especially within our rural areas and has significantly assisted in terms of quality health care to patients, by reducing morbidity and mortality. Africa in general, is the continent with the greatest health care challenges who is yet to fully utilise ultrasound technology. The need for this technology is great, as the conditions benefiting from its application are enfolding.

For the effective use of ultrasound, a sound understanding of its usefulness and its limitations is required. Our understanding and knowledge must keep pace with technology to ensure that we use and interpret ultrasound correctly.
