Highland Ultrasound Research Symposium

In this section
Highland Ultrasound Research Symposium

The first Highland Ultrasound Research Symposium was held on 10th February 2015 in the Centre for Health Sciences, Inverness.

The inspiration behind the meeting came from Dr Ashish Macaden who was one of the speakers. He had the idea that transcranial ultrasound might be a useful way to select stroke patients living in remote areas for life-saving and disability-preventing treatment before they reach hospital.

The Highland Ultrasound Research Symposium aimed to gather together researchers, clinicians, experts and interested parties of all sorts to discuss novel and innovative work ongoing in the field of ultrasonography.
