The interview with representative from the Hellenic Society for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology Dr. Pavlos S. Zoumpoulis, MD, by Chairman of EFSUMB Publications Committee Professor Michael Bachmann Nielsen took place in September 2010.
Dr. Zoumpoulis started working with ultrasound in the early 80‘s: "A young enthusiastic radiologist, after four years internship in Athens‘ hospitals feels that something is changing in Radiology and starts writing letters in order to find his way through the "new era of Radiology" he feels coming. He wrote many letters to USA, British, Scandinavian and French Universities and Hospitals. Many responses came. A proposition for a radiology resident post attracts his interest: it proposes training in Ultrasound in Hotel Dieu hospital, in Paris.” Today his main interests are ultrasonography of the liver (including elastographic studies with different types of equipment), US of the prostate, breast and thyroid, guided biopsies and musculoskeletal US.
