Excerpt

The year 2008 marks the 60th anniversary of medical diagnostic ultrasound (US) [1]. Radiology is proud to celebrate this anniversary as US nowadays is the most widely used and rapidly growing of all sectional imaging methods and still constitutes a large part of the workload of many radiology departments. …
