An ultrasound study day entitled ‘Bursting the Bubble’ was held at the Peninsula Radiology Academy in Plymouth, organised jointly by Dr Nanda Venkatanarasimha and Dr Paul Dubbins together with Bracco UK and Toshiba Medical Systems.

Users from around the UK enjoyed presentations covering topics as diverse as the physical principles of contrast agents and image optimisation, tips for the introduction of contrast in the DGH setting, through to established applications in the liver, and also more esoteric studies of the bowel, spleen, kidney and testes.
