In July the Council tooka stand regarding social scanning and readers are encouraged to read the ASUMStatement and letters on pages 35 to 38 and to contribute to the discussion.Reader attention is also drawn to the Letters section on page 14 where Schluteret al. challenge the current mid trimester growth charts used in Australia and NewZealand.This issue also contains an eclectic collection of articles of excellent scientificvalue. In their case report, Fauchon et al. examine the grey areas of antenatalultrasound diagnosis of anomalies specifically in regard to abnormal fetal feet. Intheir article, Watson and Benzie examine fetal upper abdominal masses and casestudy how ultrasound can alert referring clinicians to the presence or absenceof pathology so as assist effective clinical management decisions. Davies et al.discuss the diagnosis of pleural effusion in their article and suggest that the treatmenttechnique described overcomes or avoids many of the limitations of existingoptions. Wong et al., in their case study, report on antenatal diagnosis of vasaprevia and O’Leary provides a pictorial essay of left ventricular failure.Preparation for the Annual Scientific Meeting in Adelaide is nearly completeand the outstanding scientific program is detailed on pages 2 to 5. Readers areencouraged to register for ASUM 2005 ASM and spend a stimulating few daysin Adelaide.Roger DaviesEditorASM 2005ASM 2005 Program 2THE EXECUTIVEPresident’s message 7CEO’s message 10RESEARCH AND TECHNICALAbnormal fetal feet – thedifferential diagnoses 15Fetal upper abdominal masses:a prenatal diagnostic dilemma 19Ultrasound guided chemicalpleurodesis with doxycycline 23A 3D approach to antenatal diagnosisof vasa previa with 2D ultrasoundimaging 28A pictorial essay of left ventricularfailure 31POLICIES AND STATEMENTSGuidelines for the Performance ofFirst Trimester Ultrasound 33Interim Statement on the AppropriateUse of Diagnostic UltrasoundEquipment for Non-medical Use 35SOCIAL SCREENINGLetters and editor’s notes 36EDUCATIONDMU and DDU Part 1 and Part 2pass candidates 32Diploma of Medical UltrasonographyReport 42Examination dates and venues 44THE SOCIETYBook and CD reviews 39The 2004 Beresford ButteryOverseas Traineeship Experience 46NZ Branch Annual Conference 47Obituary James Robert Syme 48Corporate members & New members 50ASUM Calendar 51ASUM Ultrasound Bulletin 2005 August; 8 (3)1
