This challenging new ultrasound lecture series joins the popular list of Virtual Lecture Hall offerings on the ACR Campus™ including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), breast imaging, and GI. Led by Division Chair Barry B. Goldberg, MD, FACR, nine distinguished faculty members from the Division of Diagnostic Ultrasound of the Department of Radiology, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, address a variety of topics covering basic ultrasound imaging including gynecologic and obstetric ultrasound, as well as abdominal, musculoskeletal and vascular systems.
