Catalog scope notes

The Ultrasound Journal is an international peer-reviewed journal designed for clinicians using point-of-care ultrasound in any environment or setting. The Ultrasound Journal is the official publication of WINFOCUS (World Interactive Network Focused on Critical Ultrasound), the world's leading scientific organization committed to developing point-of-care ultrasound practice, research, education, technology and networking. WINFOCUS seeks to support patient care by advancing scientific and evidence-based use of ultrasound in clinical practice. The Journal offers a unique integrative approach, combining the expertise of the different subspecialties within cardiology, respirology, nephrology, neurology, emergency, intensive care and internal medicine in the management of patients with acute and/or critical disease. As such, The Ultrasound Journal will consider any paper that addresses issues of sonology from bench science and acoustics to therapeutic interventions, including device design, clinical contexts, image acquisition, post processing and AI decision support, communications technology interfaces, archiving and reporting, diagnosis, and procedural guidance. The journal publishes original articles, systematic reviews, brief reports, editorials, invited commentaries, images in sonology practice and is open for publication of supplements and abstracts of scientific meetings. For readers in almost every clinical setting around the world, The Ultrasound Journal plays a key role in bringing ultrasound to the patient's bedside.
