WFUMB 2009a unique opportunity for ultrasoundand medical imagingThe World Congress of WFUMB 2009, 30th August to3rd September in Sydney will be a unique event on theultrasound and medical imaging calendar for 2009.The program provides a “one-stop-shop” opportunity toupdate in virtually every area of medical ultrasound at theDarling Harbour Convention Centre on Sydney Harbour.It is by far the most comprehensive ultrasound programwith which I have been associated and it represents anideal opportunity to hear “state-of-the-art“ presentations onultrasound from a large faculty of international experts.The faculty of 140 invited speakers includes 85 internationalfaculty with 320 invited presentations programmed. This willprovide the most comprehensive coverage in ultrasound, inboth technical and clinical domains, with a strong programfor almost every subspecialty physician and sonographer.In addition we have programmed 140 proffered papersand 530 posters.Program streamsOver 300 invitedpresentations will coverthe following programstreams:▸▸Musculoskeletal▸▸Breast▸▸Abdominal▸▸Small parts▸▸Obstetrics andgynaecology▸▸Vascular▸▸Paediatrics▸▸CardiologyWorkshopsWe are featuring over100 workshop sessionsin the following areas:musculoskeletal, abdominal,neck, obstetrics &gynaecology, vascular,paediatric and breast.These will provide smallgroup exposure to “How-I-do-it” scanning sessionswith leaders in the field.New developmentsImportant new developmentswill focus on:▸▸Ultrasound contrast agents▸▸Elastography▸▸Latest ultrasound imagingtechnical developments▸▸Interventional andtherapeutic techniques▸▸3D and 4D techniques▸▸New approaches toDoppler and blood flowstudies▸▸Imaging of angiogenesis▸▸High intensity focusedultrasound (HIFU)▸▸Endoscopic ultrasoundAdditional courses availablewithin the program▸▸Nuchal translucency course▸▸Translabial US course▸▸Point of care course: formedical practitionersproviding ultrasound attheir point of careThis is one of the most exciting and content rich ultrasoundprograms to have been mounted. It is a pleasure to be ableto recommend it is a “must attend” for 2009 for all thoseinvolved in ultrasound and medical imaging. Furthermore,in true ASUM style, we promise an enjoyable time in abeautiful setting.Professor Rob GibsonCongress ConvenorAbout ASUMAustralasian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine“Promoting Excellence in Ultrasound”The Australasian Society for Ultrasound inMedicine (ASUM) is a multidisciplinary societywhose primary role is to assist in disseminatingscientific information, provide education and setstandards of practice in this continually developingspecialty. ASUM members include medicalspecialists in almost all disciplines of medicinepractice, sonographers, scientists, engineers,veterinarians and business corporations.The Society is affiliated with the WorldFederation for Ultrasound in Medicine andBiology (WFUMB) and has linkages withultrasound societies in Asia and worldwide.About WFUMBWorld Federation for Ultrasoundin Medicine and BiologyWFUMB is a federation of ultrasoundsocieties and federations whosememberships cover Australasia, Asia, Africa,Europe, North America and South America.Presently the total number of individualmembers is almost 55,000, includingphysicians, scientists, engineers, trade andsonographers.As a Non-Government Organisation (NGO),WFUMB is an official relation of the WorldHealth Organisation (WHO).WFUMB and WHO currently collaborateon various ultrasound education programsby organising and sponsoring coursesand working for the creation of EducationCenters and education and referencematerial.The first World Congress of the WorldFederation for Ultrasound in Medicine andBiology (WFUMB) took place in 1976 inSan Francisco. Since then, WFUMB WorldCongresses have been organised triennially.www.wfumb.orgOrganising Committee▪▪Professor Robert GibsonCongress Convenor▪▪Professor Ron BenzieASUM President – 2008 to 2010▪▪Dr Matthew AndrewsASUM Immediate Past President▪▪Dr Caroline Hong, ASUM CEO▪▪Mr Keith Henderson,ASUM Education Managerwww.asum.com.auASUM CEO Contact:Dr Caroline HongEmail: carolinehong@asum.com.auASUM General Email: asum@asum.com.auMajor SponsorsSatchel Insert Sponsors▸▸Queensland X-Ray▸▸Supersonic ImagineSupporting Sponsors▸▸Business EventsSydney▸▸NSW Department ofState and RegionalDevelopmentExhibitorsASUM is CertifiedISO 9001:2000 QualityManagement Systems▸▸I-Med Network▸▸Lantheus MedicalImaging▸▸Sonosite▸▸Elsevier Australia▸▸Department ofState and RegionalDevelopment▸▸Medison▸▸Toshiba▸▸GE Healthcare▸▸Philips HealthcareSingapore▸▸SuperSonic Imagine▸▸BK Medical▸▸Chison MedicalImaging Co., LtdScientific Program Convenors▪▪Mrs Bonita Anderson▪▪Professor Ron Benzie▪▪Mr Stephen Bird▪▪Associate ProfessorGeorge Condous▪▪Professor Robert Gibson▪▪Mrs Jenifer Kidd▪▪Professor Albert Lam▸▸Zonare▸▸Nanosonics▸▸Diagnostico▸▸Events NSW▸▸Australian DiagnosticImaging Association▸▸Siemens▸▸Zonare▸▸Nanosonics▸▸The InternationalVasa PreviaFoundation▸▸Aloka Co., Ltd.▸▸Shantou Instituteof UltrasonicInstruments Co.Ltd▸▸Ultrasonix / InMed▸▸Sonoscape▸▸Hitachi MedicalCorporation▸▸American Registry forDiagnostic MedicalSonography▪▪Dr Glenn McNally▪▪Mr Matthew Morrall▪▪Dr Andrew Ngu▪▪Dr Denise Roach▪▪Dr David Rogers▪▪Dr Sue CampbellWesterway2www.wfumb2009.com
