With the introduction of less expensive point of care ultrasound system (Butterfly iq, Lumify, and Clarius) it behooves all childrens’ clinicians (family physicians, nurse practioners, emergency physicians, and pediatrician) to develop expertise in pediatric ultrasound. There are resources that make developing this expertise feasible for all clinicians.
In addition to the resources below in this post, please see other resources on my blog for Ultrasound Imaging (103 posts) and Pediatric Ultrasound Imaging (38 posts)in the Categories list.
And to use the site for other topics, if you have a specific topic you want to explore, type the term in the Search box. For example if you type “Learning Ultrasound” into the search box, you will get a list of 34 posts related to that topic.
