What we cover

Ultrasound basics: how images are formed, probe types and frequencies, penetration depth, and the other fundamentals.
Clinical technique: key points for common examination sites, and the everyday reading of images.
Equipment know-how: choosing a system, connecting it, charging it and looking after it day to day.

How these articles are written

Articles rest on established ultrasound fundamentals and on equipment documentation. The emphasis is on how to read an image and how to use the system, not on diagnostic conclusions. Where an article describes a scope of application or a method of operation, follow your own institution's protocols and the product instructions for use.

Why it is worth reading

What a system can deliver depends heavily on how well its operator knows the fundamentals. These short pieces gather image formation, probe selection and the key points for common sites into something that can be looked up quickly, before or after an actual examination.

Who it is for

Physicians and nurses: a quick way to pick up the working knowledge behind an ultrasound examination.
Equipment users: connecting, operating and maintaining the system.
Buyers and decision-makers: what the specifications and configurations actually mean in practice.
