SonoWorld Information

SonoWorld was launched in 1999 as a way to use the emerging Internet to provide free educational materials to ultrasound practitioners in developing countries around the world. As the founders explored ways to accomplish this mission, it became apparent that there was a global need for a centralized resource for information as well as educational resources, and that this could best be accomplished by creating a new education-focused virtual community for physicians, sonographers and industry. SonoWorld has since become the world’s largest single group of medical professionals involved in ultrasound. With more than 150,000 registered members SonoWorld reaches more ultrasound professionals worldwide than any other communication channel. The site has also become the world’s largest single repository of ultrasound-related educational materials. With over 450 streaming video lectures by the most widely recognized authorities in the world, clinical cases, textbook chapters and a wide range of other educational and informational materials, all free and readily accessible from anywhere in the world, SonoWorld has become the destination of choice for basic education in ultrasound.
