Point-of-Care Liver Ultrasound: The Next Frontier (Session A), Part 2 (Ticketed)

Description

This course introduces the concept of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) of the liver as an extension of the clinical exam performed by hepatology professionals. The symposium reviews the rationale for use of POCUS; the basics of liver ultrasonography; common applications of liver ultrasonography; hands-on-training in a simulated environment; and a proposed path to implement liver POCUS in clinical practice.
Supported by in-kind support from Butterfly, Clarius, Fujifilm/Sonosite, GE Healthcare, Mindray, Samsung, Siemens, and SuperSonic Imagine.
