In September 2023, the GEL crew traveled to Portland, Maine to do some on-the-street reporting at the annual conference for the Society of Clinical Ultrasound Fellowships (SCUF).  What evolved was a series of incredible mini-interviews focusing on the different paths to ultrasound and the exciting new frontiers of ultrasound technology. This is Part 2 of 2.

Another cutting edge topic! These insatiable investigators propose to use doppler waveforms from the common femoral vein as a marker of right heart dysfunction in heart failure patients. Novel? Certainly. Useful? We shall see!
