Looking back at EUROSON 2016 in Leipzig, Germany: which topics were popular?

The 28^th EUROSON Congress and the 40^th Dreiländertreffen of the DEGUM, ÖGUM and SGUM were held in October 2016 in Leipzig, Germany. It was a successful event that attracted more than two thousand participants. The congress included more than 200 scientific presentations.

The scientific sessions covered the multidisciplinary use of medical ultrasound in gynecology, obstetrics, pediatrics and in musculoskeletal, head and neck, vascular applications as well as many topics regarding abdominal US. There were also several sessions focused on ultrasound technology.
