Dear colleagues,
Never before has a new technique changed the field of ultrasound in such a
revolutional way like the use of ultrasound contrast media. The International CEUS
Course is aiming at two goals: Understanding the basics of CEUS, US machines and
settings and secondly deepening the understanding the benefit of using contrast
agents in hepatic and extra-hepatic diseases. National and international guidelines
will be presented. Again well known international radiologists and internists in this
field will give lectures and train small groups of attendees in hands-on and case
discussion sessions. During this course there will be again time for individual
training on the US machines and to work on clinical cases – from easy to difficult
ones to interpret. Additionally representatives from the industry will inform on the
pre-cause day you about latest and future technical developments, followed by
hands on sessions on the latest US devices.
We hope you will benefit from attending this course -a European School project-
which again is supported by the EFSUMB.
I wish you a successful educational course and a joyful stay in Hannover
Dr. Hans-Peter Weskott
Course Director
