This symposium will introduce the concept of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) of the liver as an extension of the clinical exam to be performed by hepatology providers. The symposium will provide a rationale for the use of POCUS, basics of liver ultrasonography, common applications and a path to implement POCUS in clinical practice. Supported by in-kind support from Butterfly, Clarius, Fujifilm/Sonosite, GE Healthcare, Mindray, Samsung, Siemens, and SuperSonic Imagine.
