title: Reviewing the curriculum for physics and technology in postgraduate sonography courses.
abstract: Physics and technology is seen as a difficult subject by those training in medical ultrasound. The reasons for this are discussed. Who should teach the subject and what should be included are considered. Ways to approach the subject so as to make it more relevant and easier to learn are proposed and a basic syllabus is suggested in an appendix.
