Reference excerpt

The International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG, the Society for Women's Imaging) is a professional membership association and charity registered in England and Wales. ISUOG represents and supports professionals using ultrasonography in obstetric and gynecologic practice across the world, currently including obstetricians, gynecologists, sonographers, radiographers, radiologists, midwives, maternal fetal medicine and other subspecialty medical professionals across 126 countries.

Foundation ISUOG was founded in 1991 by Prof Stuart Campbell (President 1991–1998). The Society held its first annual World Congress in London in January 1991, which was attended by just over 1,000 delegates that were also its founding members.

ISUOG has a monthly peer-reviewed journal, Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2020 impact factor of 7.299, ranking it 5th out of 83 journals in the category "Obstetrics & Gynecology". The editor-in-chief is Anthony Odibo. Regular features include original articles, case reports, opinion articles and systematic reviews. Each month at least one article is selected to be free access and Journal Club slides are produced on a paper of high clinical impact.

World Congress Since 1991, ISUOG has hosted the annual World Congress to facilitate the communication and dissemination of the latest research findings and discussion around current clinical management issues, and to encourage research collaboration.

Education ISUOG provides educational opportunities to its members, including its Intensive Education Course program and extensive online education resources. ISUOG also provides support for groups and regions with lesser resources, through its free Trainee membership program and via membership inclusion for international education courses approved by ISUOG (ISUOG Approved courses).

Outreach ISUOG's first Outreach program was developed with the support of the World Health Organization (WHO) and funding from the National Center for Fetal Medicine (NCFM, Norway), and the Norwegian government. The first Outreach course took place in Manila, the Philippines, in 1996. Outreach is committed to improving maternal healthcare services in underserved regions of the world by:

Promoting and providing high-quality education in ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology Improving the availability of ultrasound Increasing the potential to diagnose life-threatening obstetric complications and gynecological conditions "Training trainers" Since its foundation, ISUOG Outreach has trained more than 130 professionals in countries including Mongolia, Ghana, Somaliland, Haiti and South Africa, as well as resourcing projects to help Australia's aboriginal communities and refugee communities in Syria and Lebanon.

Membership and governance ISUOG's international membership, including its Board of twenty Trustees, Editorial Board and Committee members, collaborate to develop education and training programs, and disseminate scientific research in support of the Society's mission to improve maternal health. The Trustees of the charity (also Directors of the company) are responsible for the financial and strategic direction of the Society.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology

In research: International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1991 establishments in the United Kingdom, Health in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, International medical associations, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
