Elastography - everywhere, but not just in any way

The European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) is currently comprised of 19223 members and yet only a fraction of them use new, more advanced echography techniques such as contrast enhanced ultrasound, elastography or the hybrid technique. For this reason, the program of the 26th EUROSON Congress consisted of parallel presentation sessions focused on standard ultrasound, as well advanced ultrasound techniques.
