Welcome to the new version of SonoWorld. 

This new site features a wider layout to take better advantage of the larger screens available today and a complete rewrite of the underlying code to take advantage of the many new browser capabilities developed over the past few years .  With launch of the new SonoWorld we are striving to make the content of the site more accessible and easily used.  Upcoming new features on the site include:
Minisites:  Look for the first of these later this week.  A minisite is dedicated to a single specialty area or to a single technology.  The minisite assembles in one place all the content on the topic from throughout the site.
 
Lecture based CME:   Starting with an October release of  the Vascular Update virtual conference, we will begin offering SDMS CME credit on collections of video lectures from the SonoWorld Masters Lecture Series.  You may take the entire virtual course over a period of time and get a single certificate or you may complete individual lectures and receive a certificate immediately.

We hope you like the new layout and design of SonoWorld and look forward to your comments and feedback.
