“So relevant and refreshing. As it was [provided by] a Sonographer who does the job, she knew the pitfalls and difficulties faced when scanning and this was so relatable.”

“Having the ultrasound images and cine clips enabled us to see what we should be looking for and what these abnormalities would look like in clinical practice.”
