Abstract
Ultrasound is one of the most widely available technique used in medical imaging due to its low cost and portability. Recent advances in ultrasound technologies have contributed significantly to the improvement of the quality of the resulting images. Moreover, the current ultrasound machines do not require high technical skills of the operator. Finally, as opposed to many other imaging techniques, ultrasound does not expose the patients to radiation. The presentation offers an overview of medical ultrasound imaging applied to diagnose the pediatric patients.
Special support from Biomedical Center of Excellency, Thammasat University: free participation for Thai graduate students.
Deadline for submission December 1, 2013
