He also has an additional 6 years’ experience in x-ray based imaging\, including Computerized Tomography.\nHe has had various roles\, including managerial\, research and teaching positions. Currently Mr. Rattansingh works at UHN as a Sonographer/Research Assistant\, and also an external instructor for the Michener Institute\, Toronto\, where I deliver the Ultrasound Physics Course for overseas students.\nHe is also a reviewer for the Canadian Journal of Medical Sonography\, and an invited reviewer for the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine. Mr. Rattansingh is first author of three publications\, and co-author of a further three. He is also involved in volunteering abroad where he teaches ultrasound skills to physicians as well as technologists. \nMs. Maryam Azizi: Maryam Azizi graduated as a Bachelor of Biology from Azad University (Iran/Tehran). She also was teaching Biology and Chemistry for about 5 years at Pharabi Academy (Iran/Tehran). She received her Art Diploma from Tehran Art Academy. She worked as a science research fellow for Organization of Bio-Technology Centre in 1997.\nMaryam Immigrated to Canada in 2001 and received her QCL Certificate Diploma from Academy of Applied Pharmaceutical Science in Toronto\, ON\nShe Graduated as a General Sonographer from Ultimate Diagnostic Imaging & CMA Medical Centre in Toronto\, ON\nShe is fully certified with ARDMS\, CMRITO\, and a registered\nmember of Sonography Canada.

After much thought she realized that she was severely lacking clinical skills and joined the ultrasound program at the Michener Institute.\nAfter happily practicing as a full-time sonographer at the Credit Valley Hospital for 2 years\, she noticed some knowledge gaps surrounding prenatal ultrasound use in the literature. This prompted her to consider being involved in research in some capacity which\, after much thought and consideration\, led her to the PhD program at York University.\nAt York\, she was able to develop her research skills and expand her knowledge about the epidemiology of prenatal ultrasound\, a field that she is currently very passionate about.
