Brief Summary: Ultrasounds are widely employed in almost all medical specialties In Neurology the applications are numerous nowadays There is constant interest in the traditional use of US as well as a growing attention towards the newest and most recent applications in clinicaleveryday practice These applications pertain not only to vascular neurology but also to other fields within this specialty owing to the non-invasive and bedside availability of this tool

To achieve this a high level of expertise is required Paradoxically certification of skills is neither required nor mandatory for clinical practice When examining Belgian centers a wide disparity in training indications and ultrasound use in everyday practice becomes apparent This discrepancy is not unique to Belgium it has also been demonstrated throughout the rest of Europe The European Society of Neurosonology and Cerebral Hemodynamic ESNCH has already conducted a survey on this subject and we would like to replicate it at a national level

The aim of this survey is to describe the use of ultrasound for neurological diseases in Belgian hospitals and practitioners familiarity with ultrasound modalities across all indications Understanding the current state of ultrasound practice in Belgium could help promote more homogeneous and high-quality training increase educational sessions during national meetings establish a research network and facilitate the exchange of internal protocols

Partipants opinions would be greatly appreciated to better understand Belgian expertise in the field and open discussions about the strengths and limitations of the current situation

After 4 months from the reception of this email the online questionnaire will no longer be available and the investigators will proceed with the analysis of the collected data As indicated the inclusion of the hospital name is not mandatory However hospital category is kindly request to facilitate our analysis

Analysis and comparison between categories such as the type of hospital region etc will be conducted for research purposes

For any additional inquiries regarding the survey questions data collection and conclusions of the inquiry please feel free to contact investigators via email at surveyneurosonologygmailcom
