1 International Course in Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound Part I: Liver, Gallbladder, Pancreas & Kidney Course Director: HP Weskott 9th - 12th October 2014 Hannover - Germany

Dear colleagues, Like no other technique before US contrast agents have revolutionized diagnostic ultrasound.

The European ultrasound societies developed guidelines on the use of US contrast agents in liver diseases in 2004. These guidelines have been updated and expanded in 2008 and 2011 (www.efsumb.

Although the emphasis is still on liver diseases, it is accepted that US CA also adds a great deal of diagnostic value in extra hepatic organ diseases, as well as in renal disorders.

2 Dear colleagues, Like no other technique before US contrast agents have revolutionized diagnostic ultrasound. Since its advent in 1996 the diagnostic abilities have expanded greatly and diagnostic confidence has been taken to a new level, comparable and sometimes even superior to CT and MRI. The European ultrasound societies developed guidelines on the use of US contrast agents in liver diseases in These guidelines have been updated and expanded in 2008 and 2011 ( the WFUMB has publish the latest CEUS guidelines for the liver in 2013 ( The NHS has published its guidelines regarding the use of Sonovue in liver disease in 2012 ( Although the emphasis is still on liver diseases, it is accepted that US CA also adds a great deal of diagnostic value in extra hepatic organ diseases, as well as in renal disorders. During this International CEUS Course many well known radiologists and internists in this field will give lectures and train small groups of attendees in hands-on and case discussion sessions. We hope you will benefit from attending this course, which is supported by the EFSUMB, a European School project. I wish you a successful educational course and a joyful stay in Hannover Dr. Hans-Peter Weskott Course Director Hannover, March 2014
