WFUMB Webinar: WFUMB ‘Ultrasound, the Best’ Cases

Took place on Tuesday, September 15, 2020 2:30 PM – 4:30 PM CEST

The webinar consisted of Introduction, 3 lectures & summary, with Q&A’s and feedback.

One of the important directions WFUMB is pursuing is to promote the best use of ultrasound. This webinar is a part of this campaign with a slogan of “Ultrasound, the Best’.

In this 2-hours webinar, you will see the ‘Ultrasound, the Best’ cases in the liver, gastrointestinal tract, and urinary tract. Odd Helge GILJA (Chair of WFUMB education committee), Christoph DIETRICH (Chair of WFUMB publication committee), and Seung KIM (President of WFUMB) will present cases where ultrasound played excellent problem-solving roles in the diagnosis and management of the patients, sometimes even much better than CT or MRI did. I hope this webinar may be enjoyable and useful for all participants. I believe many of you also have ‘Ultrasound, the Best’ cases. WFUMB invites you to participate in this campaign by submitting your cases through the WFUMB website. You can find submitting guidelines and slide templates at the WFUMB website.
