Overview

This one-day ultrasound (US) hands-on in-person workshop is hosted by the Center of Pediatric Contrast Ultrasound (CPCU) in the Department of Radiology at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP).

We cover intravenous and intracavitary contrast US applications (including intravesical) in children. The target audience includes those using contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) or caring for children who would benefit from CEUS such as pediatric radiologists, sonographers, general practice and subspecialty clinicians, nurses, and ultrasound application specialists.
