This is within easy reach of the centre of London, just 9 minutes away on the train. There has been a special reduction in the registration fee to allow as many people with an interest in helping with the imaging of children, due to the generosity of the support from industry – you can register for as little as £200 if you meet certain criteria. This year there will be a special tribute, with the David Cosgrove Lecture being given by Prof Kassa Darge, from CHOP in Philadelphia, a not to be missed opportunity to hear a true pioneer of paediatric CEUS. Other topics include, liver, renal, tumours, testis, trauma and many novel and exciting new applications of CEUS in the child, preceded by a clear and concise description of the technical aspects of using CEUS.
