ASUM is a multidisciplinary society whose primary role is to assist in disseminating scientific information, providing education and setting standards of practice for medical ultrasound.

ASUM members are doctors and sonographers working in public and private medical facilities where ultrasound is used.

The Ultrasound Bulletin is ASUM's primary method of communicating policies, guidelines, statements and news of interest to the membership.

Four issues are published annually in February, May, August and November.
