AAML Supports Specialized DDH Workshop in Aljouf to Advance Early Screening and Radiology Training
On Saturday, May 31st, AAML contributed to a specialized workshop conducted by Dr. Ahmed AlDraihem in Aljouf Province, combining a lecture and hands-on training focused on Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH). The session highlighted the importance of early screening to improve child health outcomes and reduce long-term treatment costs.
Participants received an in-depth overview of the Graf classification system and its clinical use. With Aljouf’s high birth rate, expanding DDH screening was emphasized as a public health priority.
The workshop concluded with practical ultrasound training on pre-booked patients. Radiologists from all four towns in the region took part, enhancing their diagnostic skills and supporting stronger local screening programs.
Collaborative Training Initiative on FAST Ultrasound Technique at Al Zulfi Hospital
We are pleased to announce a collaborative training initiative between the Radiology (AAML) and Emergency Departments at Al Zulfi Hospital, aimed at enhancing clinical competencies and advancing patient care. This initiative focuses on the FAST (Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma) ultrasound technique, a critical tool in the rapid assessment of trauma patients.
Comprehensive training sessions were delivered to all Emergency Department physicians by Dr. Shaimaa Ahmed and Mr. Khalifa Alkhalifa, Senior Sonographer.
The primary objective of this initiative is to reduce diagnostic delays in trauma cases by equipping clinicians with the expertise to quickly identify critical ultrasound findings. By integrating FAST as a key component in emergency triage, the program is expected to significantly enhance decision-making and improve patient outcomes.

Command Center Excellence: Transforming Radiology, Together!
We are proud to be part of the international GE Command Center ecosystem. Recently, we had the opportunity to present our Command Center, proudly showcasing our mission, vision, and goals as the first dedicated radiology command center in the Middle East. The presentation was well-received, marking a strong start to our journey.
This week, we met with key GE leaders and project managers from across the Middle East to align on shared objectives and explore future collaboration. This marks the beginning of what promises to be a long and fruitful partnership, with much success ahead.
We also took the time to discuss the implementation of various solutions, addressing both the achievements and the areas that still need improvement. This collaborative dialogue ensures that we are on the right track to enhance our services and meet all evolving needs.
One of the most impressive aspects of our discussions was the recognition of how far we’ve come in such a short period. The level of progress we’ve achieved in launching and implementing the command center was truly appreciated by all. The positive impact on the efficiency of our radiology services and the noticeable improvement in patient outcomes were highlighted as key successes. It was inspiring to see the acknowledgment of how effectively the command center is working and how it has contributed to the rapid progression of our services.
