It’s Valentine’s Day…

a day of romance and love, kisses and cuddles, warmth and friendliness. Really – it’s just like any day working in ultrasound training <3

Some of the resources we’re loving this week include:

• Evaluation of ultrasound-guided distal catheter placement in pediatric ventriculoatrial shunts for patients with hydrocephalus: Effectiveness and consequences in the Journal of Vascular Access (13 February)
• Blood Flow in the Internal Jugular Veins in the Lateral Decubitus Body Position in the Healthy People in the Journal of Cinical Medicine (12 February)
• Ultrasound versus magnetic resonance imaging for calculating total kidney volume in patients with ADPKD: a real-world data analysis in the Ultrasound Journal (11 February)

This and a lot of other sweet treats await your loving attention below.

Good luck with cupid.
