Latest Updates in Clinical Ultrasound
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Clinical ultrasound is now essential in modern medicine, providing rapid, non-invasive, radiation-free imaging that aids diagnosis, procedures, therapeutic decisions, and follow-up.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the latest advances in clinical ultrasound, with a special emphasis on its application in routine clinical practice. We invite submissions of original research, reviews, and clinical studies on point-of-care ultrasound, vascular ultrasound, abdominal ultrasound, lung ultrasound, ultrasound-guided procedures, artificial intelligence applications, training and teaching strategies, implementation in primary care, and quality improvement initiatives. This Special Issue, which brings together contributions from various disciplines, aims to highlight current evidence and future research directions in clinical ultrasound and its increasing impact on patient care.
