10 Chapter 2: Getting Started
Getting Started
To vary your daily activities, consider the following:
• Plan your work so there are breaks in between ultrasound exams.
• When scanning, use both system input devices, the touch screen and the directional controller.
• Work efficiently when performing an ultrasound exam by using the software and hardware
features correctly. Learn more about these features in Chapter 3 of this guide.
• Keep moving. Avoid sustaining the same posture by varying your head, neck, body, arm, and
leg positions.
Exercise
Targeted exercises can strengthen muscle groups, which may help you avoid MSDs. Contact a
qualified health professional to determine stretches and exercises that are right for you.
