Medical Ultrasound Society of Karnataka (MUSK)
With rapid application in diagnostic ultrasound in the
1980's a need was felt to have a common forum where all consultants from
different specialties could interest - Ultrasound. A
group of doctors met in 1990-1991 with this in mind and started a new
society - MUSK. Subsequently this society was registered
with the Registrar of Societies in Karnataka. The main objectives of the
society was to spread interest in ultrasound by organizing scientific
meetings, holding annual conferences and bringing out Journals / Periodicals
on ultrasound.
Keeping these objectives in mind, since its inception the society has
being organizing scientific meets once in 3 months and an annual conference
once a year (Alternating between Bangalore and a District headquarters
within Karnataka). The Society has successfully organized annual conference
at Davangere, Mysore, Mangalore, Shimoga, Hassan and Bellary other than
the Bangalore conferences.
Today the society has more than 225 life members on its roll and being
one of the youngest medical societies in Karnataka it proudly owns its
office space in the heart of Bangalore.
