Dear colleagues,

After a sucessful first CEUS course (part one) in November 2012, I would like to

invite you to attent the follow up course to be held in Hannover from October 24th

to 27th

2013.

Never before has a new technique changed the field of ultrasound in such a

revolutional way like the use of ultrasound contrast media. The International CEUS

Course part II is aiming at two goals: deepening the understanding of CEUS in liver

and renal diseases and secondly demonstrating the wide range of extra-hepatic

indications for using US contrast agents. These new indications have been subject

to the EFSUMB Guidelines which just recently have been published. Again well

known international radiologists and internists in this field will give lectures and

train small groups of attendees in hands-on-sessions. During this course there will

be again time for individual training on the US machines and to work on clinical

cases – from easy to difficult ones to interpret. At the end of each day there will be

a dedicated session for discussing cases you brought with you or mailed us with the

experts. Additionally representatives from the industry will inform on the pre-

cause day you about latest and future technical developments, followed by hands

on sessions on the latest US devices.

We hope you will benefit from attending this course -a European School project-

which again is supported by the EFSUMB.

I wish you a successful educational course and a joyful stay in Hannover

Dr. Hans-Peter Weskott
