Can’t believe this is the final news for March already…

the year is truly flying by. We have been super busy delivering training around the country – as well as presenting at conferences internationally. Keep an eye out for Suean’s contribution to the AIUM meet in Florida from tomorrow – she’s fitting in a presentation or two between shopping! If you’re there yourself be sure to stop and have a chat.

Plenty of ultrasound goodness in this week’s issue 🚀✨

• Andrea Plackis provides a systematic approach to performing transesophageal echo (28 March)
• Abhilash Koratala reviews Doppler waveforms, haemodynamics and cardiac function (27 March)
• A review in the Journal of Clinical Medicine highlights the potential value of preoperative skin ultrasonography in accurately assessing benign and malignant skin lesion dimensions and morphology – an important development for us sun drenched countries (27 March).

The weekend beckons – have a good one!
