One of the UK’s leading ultrasound training centres has made further orders for Esaote’s flexible MyLab 25Gold ultrasound platform.  The Centre for Ultrasound Studies (CUS) at the AECC in Bournemouth delivers courses for an increasingly diverse range of healthcare professionals.

“Ultrasound is a highly effective and important diagnostic tool being used with increasing frequency across the healthcare setting,” said course director Dr Budgie Hussain. “We provide teaching courses to everyone from GPs, A&E specialists, nurses, midwives, obstetricians, rheumatologists, orthopaedic surgeons, and sports medicine specialists.  CUS runs courses here in Bournemouth, but we are increasingly going to client sites to train – in hospitals, hotels, and as far away as Malta and Norway and Esaote provides its services locally to support the kit we require,” explained Dr Hussain.  “The machines are reasonably priced and have very high frequency transducers, enabling high clarity of superficial structures such as shoulders and fingers.”
