Zusammenfassung:Purpose The aim of this study was to explore how sonologists utilize cine images in their routine practice. Methods A 10-question, multiple choice survey was distributed to members of the Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound. The survey queried respondent’s routine inclusion of cines for ultrasound examinations in normal and abnormal studies in addition to questions related to respondent’s practice type, geographic location, number of radiologists interpreting ultrasound examinations, and ultrasound imaging workflow. Results Sixty-five percent of respondents are in academic practice. Geographic location of practice, number of radiologists in the practice who interpret ultrasound, and whether the sonologist was on site where the examinations were performed was variable. Of respondents, 97% of used both static and cine images for abnormal/positive examinations and 82% used both for normal/negative studies. Conclusion Nearly all respondents, who are mostly in academic practice, report using both static and cine images for all ultrasound examinations in their practice. Graphical abstract
