Abstract(s)

Ultrasound for radiographers has faced several challenges in Portugal and is still seen as a very “grey” area for students, teachers, and professionals. In this chapter, the authors intend to make a brief overview of the history of ultrasound as well as its path in Portugal. There will be made a contextualization of the educational and professional framework, addressing the radiographers' possibilities and future challenges. It will be also highlighted the actual Radiographers role in ultrasound and will be made some suggestions of improvement to the future of this technique and the possible bridges between teaching and professional practice.
