Warmest greetings from the Organizing Committee of the 52nd Annual Congress of Korean Society of Ultrasound in Medicine (KSUM 2021)!
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to inform you that KSUM 2021 will be held on May 13-14, 2021 at COEX, Seoul, Korea.
Under the current COVID-19 situation, we anticipate that foreign participants will experience difficulty in freely entering Korea. As such, the Organizing Committee is preparing a hybrid format that will propose sessions both online and onsite, which participants may attend safely the conference.
The KSUM 2021 Hybrid Congress will cover the latest findings in the field of ultrasound in medicine and biology, and provide you with the chance to share your thoughts and ideas and hear renowned speakers and delegates.

Participants will be asked for no more than 10 hours of online participation. Each team will be comprised of students from different fields of study.
The Challenge to Solve:
For many sonographers, physicians, and other medical professionals performing ultrasound scans, pain is a daily reality. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD) limit their ability to live productive lives and care for their patients.
During this virtual Solution Hack-a-Thon Challenge, you and your team will be empowered to explore, discuss, debate and brainstorm on ways to eliminate WRMSD once and for all.
The Grand Prize to Earn:
Each member of the team with the winning solution will receive a $550 USD cash prize and will be invited to participate in the upcoming 2021 WRMSD Design Summit.
Registration and Timeline:
November 2, 2020 – Registration opens here. Please sign-up before November 30, 2020. Register early as participation will be limited.
December 7, 2020 to February 15, 2021 – Teams work at their own pace to complete and submit their presentation. Team collaboration calls start December 28, 2020

Video and Figure 1
SPN which occurs in young women in the third decade of life has well-defined borders and variable central areas with cystic degeneration, necrosis, or hemorrhage (Figure 1a). Contrast enhanced EUS reveals in SPN hypoenhancement in the the arterial and venous phase (Video 1). In contrast, NETs are hyperenhancing lesions. Elastography shows stiffer tissue compared to the surrounding (Figure 1b). Biopsy and immunohistochemical staining were performed for final diagnosis.
Take Home Message
Neuroendocrine tumor (NET) and solid-pseudopapillary neoplasm (SPN) are two types of pancreatic tumor that were sometimes difficult to differentiate. Biopsy and immunohistochemical analysis obtained by a histological needle biopsy plays a crucial role in differentiating these two tumor types, E-cadherin, chromogranin A, and β-catenin representing the most useful markers which should be employed for differentiating between NET and SPN.

This was a 45-year old man with severe proteinuria. Color Doppler US of the left renal vein (LRV) in transverse plane shows severe compression between abdominal aorta and superior mesenteric artery and bright-colored jetting flow in the inferior vena cava. Measured peak flow velocity was approximately 3 meters per second which is much higher than normal velocity of 40 to 50 cm/sec.
