class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0005">Introduction and rationale</span><p id="par0005" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">For some years, ultrasound has been steadily finding its way into various medical specialisations. Today, it is a transverse technique that is increasingly used in many specialities, both medical and surgical.</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The speciality of gastroenterology has detected the need to be able to quickly and safely evaluate a number of clinical situations in which ultrasound might be helpful, not only in diagnosis but also in guiding certain diagnostic/treatment procedures and thus improving patient safety.</p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Diagnostic ultrasound is a harmless, non-invasive technique in which ultrasound waves are used as a system for identifying anatomical structures; however, it is a highly operator-dependent technique. This dependency on the operator’s knowledge, skills, experience and competence is the greatest risk of indiscriminate use of a technique with such a high diagnostic capacity. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the professionals who perform ultrasounds have sufficient levels of training to be able to do so safely and effectively.</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Training in ultrasound is included in the current training programme that must be completed by interns and resident physicians specialising in gastroenterology in Spain (ministerial order SAS/2854/2009 of 9 October 2009)<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a>; which specifies that resident physicians must acquire sufficient knowledge and skills to be able to perform ultrasound in their professional practice.</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">For this reason, the Societat Catalana de Radiologia [Catalan Society of Radiology] and the Societat Catalana de Digestologia [Catalan Society of Gastroenterology] have agreed upon this working document. The objective is to set out a framework with which to begin to meet some of the needs of gastroenterologists in their day-to-day clinical practice.</p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Obviously, this document is not intended to meet every possible need that might arise, but it does propose a number of clinical situations in which having an immediate answer available from a bedside/office ultrasound would enable better and/or more rapid diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to be adopted. Under no circumstances would this examination eliminate the need for a formal ultrasound by specialists in radiology and diagnostic imaging when indicated. Neither would it lead to orders for more complex examinations such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) without prior consultation with the radiology department.</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This document is intended to provide guidance on how the physicians in our two specialities could work in a coordinated manner. However, this must be established and agreed upon at each hospital individually based on the characteristics and particularities of each radiology and gastroenterology department. The document is not executive in nature; rather, it consists of proposals and recommendations and has been approved by both boards of directors.</p></span><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect1010">Objectives</span><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This document is intended to achieve the following objectives:</p><span id="sec0015" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0015">Primary objective</span><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">To establish ultrasound as a supplementary tool for the diagnosis of certain diseases in the healthcare practice of gastroenterology specialists.</p></span><span id="sec0020" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0020">Specific objectives</span><p id="par0050" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall"><ul class="elsevierStyleList" id="lis0005"><li class="elsevierStyleListItem" id="lsti0005"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">•</span><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">To determine the areas and types of ultrasound that could be performed by gastroenterologists.</p></li><li class="elsevierStyleListItem" id="lsti0010"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">•</span><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">To propose the training programme that is necessary.</p></li><li class="elsevierStyleListItem" id="lsti0015"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">•</span><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">To propose the potential training entities.</p></li><li class="elsevierStyleListItem" id="lsti0020"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">•</span><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">To propose the minimal technical characteristics of the ultrasound systems.</p></li><li class="elsevierStyleListItem" id="lsti0025"><span class="elsevierStyleLabel">•</span><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">To propose a model for implementation.</p></li></ul></p></span><span id="sec0025" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0025">Methodology</span><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A working group was formed, consisting of three gastroenterologists and three diagnostic imaging specialists.</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">This working group began its task in July 2019 with an initial meeting to exchange opinions on healthcare needs, training needs, and areas of action.</p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">After agreeing with the respective boards of the societies involved upon the need to prepare a working document, a first draft of this consensus document was written.
