October is Medical Ultrasound Awareness Month (MUAM) and ASUM is proud to join international ultrasound societies to promote awareness of the importance of medical ultrasound across all aspects of healthcare. As the Society’s mission is Promoting Ultrasound Excellence, we are delighted to celebrate MUAM by launching the inaugural virtual issue of AJUM highlighting our multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis of medical conditions using ultrasound for improved patient care.
As ultrasound technology evolves and is utilised by so many experts, from sonographers, radiologists, cardiologists, vascular or O&G specialists, emergency physicians, intensivists, rheumatologists, midwives, physiotherapists and many more, this virtual issue showcases the high-quality ultrasound research in all areas of medicine.
As editors of this first virtual issue of AJUM celebrating MUAM, we hope that readers enjoy the diversity of the selected articles that reflects ultrasound practice in Australia and contributes to Promoting Ultrasound Excellence.
