Introduction

Dr Lucas Greiner

Medical doctors and psychology - a daily must, and most doctors like it: considering and reflecting their patient`s and their own behavior, reactions, emotions, interactions, and roles. Performance capabilities in doctors usually usually exceeds an amateur level - or is quite different to what is considered a "professional" psychological approach, whatever this might be.

The reader is invited to share some considerations on psychological implications before, during, and after ultrasound examinations and interventions - looking at an "inner" and at an "outer" scenario.
