To: The AUA National Urologic Ultrasound Faculty (NUUF) (2007–2015) This pioneering committee of practicing urologists, organized under the auspices of the Office of Education of the American Urological Association, firmly established urologic ultrasound as an identifiable skill within the scope of the practice of urology. Owing to the efforts of the NUUF members, a generation of urologists has been educated and trained to perform safe, high-quality ultrasound examinations of their patients. The work of many of the founding members is included in this volume.
