Satisfaction With Current Scan Times in Sonography Practice | A Survey of Australian and New Zealand Sonographers

This Sonography journal article reports on appointment times used for transthoracic echocardiography, second trimester singleton morphology and abdominal ultrasound in Australian and New Zealand, and the satisfaction of sonographers with those appointment times.

The most commonly reported appointment times were 30 minutes for abdominal, 60 minutes for singleton second trimester morphology,  and for 40 minutes for echocardiography scans.

Most sonographers were satisfied with the appointment times, with the least satisfaction reported by sonographers in private practice.
