March is CEUS Month

26th Feb 2025

In partnership with the Australasian Sonographers Association (ASA), The Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (SDMS), and Sonography Canada, we are pleased to provide a variety of free access education and learning resources. 

BMUS is working in partnership throughout the month of March to provide a selection of educational resources focusing on Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS). 

We have come together with the ASA, SDMS and Sonography Canada to provide a range of resources free of charge to ultrasound communities across the world. They include Conference recordings, Journal Articles, Webinars, Top tips and YouTube videos all in one place. 

These resources will be available until the 31st of March 2025.
