Summary : The demand for fetal screening is rapidly increasing in all modern and rich societies. Such a move requires a strategic control as well of ethical and technical consequences as of the profession itself. The paper takes example of the specific risks of echographers. No technical solution is forever, and any poor management may shorten significantly the life duration and applicability of a technique. The paper shows that uncontrolled communication on the use of results (of ultrasound screening) and professionals not working consistently as equivalent actors are the two major systemic threats endangering the future of echographers. |
