The 17th World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology Congress hosted by
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
The European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) and the Federación Española de Sociedades de Ultrasonidos en Medicina y Biología (FESUMB) are pleased to invite you to Granada in the south of Spain for the 31st European Congress of Ultrasound (EUROSON). The EUROSON 2019 Congress will be held from Wednesday, 29 May, to Saturday, 1 June 2019 at Granada Conference Centre, which is very conveniently located within walking distance from the city centre.
We have a programme, which has been built on the experience of the last years’ FESUMB and its member societies with a combination of invited lectures, scientific communications and workshops, including many opportunities for attendants to get hands-on experience.
Medical Students – Join the Conversation!
The World Federation of Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (www.wfumb.org) wants you!
You can now apply to join a specially created Group for Medical Students where you can learn and share with other medical students and educators with a special interest in ultrasound, across the world. We would like to invite you to join the WFUMB Medical Student Network Group where you can share your experiences via discussions, videos, images and posts using the trusted platform of LinkedIn.
In joining the WFUMB Medical Student Network you can help us in building a community where you can encourage others to join and share knowledge to achieve goals.
We look forward to building a Community of Medical Students

A successful WFUMB Webinar event took place on 8th January 2019, 7 PM CET titled – IMpocus: The Current State & Exciting Future of Ultrasound Use in Internal Medicine on 8th January 2019, 7 PM CET. Expert speakers from the event were:
Topics were:
• What folks are doing internationally
• How IM POCUS compares with EM or ICU POCUS – what makes us different?
• What challenges we face as a community going forward and how we can address these (as a village)
Presentations from the webinar are below …
Newborn with arterial hypertension and focal renal or adrenal lesion (B-mode ultrasound, 40 mm). Contrast enhanced ultrasound allowed to solve the differential diagnosis. The complete lesion was non-enhancing (contrast injection of Sonovue™, see video). Adrenal hemorrhage is non-enhancing in contrast to adrenal neoplasia.
[Dietrich CF, Buchhorn R]
Take home messages
Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) allows diagnosis of adrenal hemorrhage and to exclude neoplasia.
CEUS is safe in newborn, children and adults [(1)].
