Editorial

Table of Contents

Looking back over a few previous editions I see that my editorial often starts with an account of my recent travels. Not wishing to break with the tradition I write this having just returned from a most excellent meeting of the Danish Ultrasound Society at the kind invitation of Michael Bachmann Nielsen. Once again it was a great delight to meet so many interested ultrasound practitioners. This years meeting was in the Royal Veterinary College in Copenhagen and the social event was a visit to the college's facilities including a view of their xray ultrasound and CT facilities. Though only a small society they are obviously very dynamic and I am sure there must be other similar Societies in Europe that have a similar ethos.

I am very lucky this month to have two contributions to the Newsletter one from Christoph Dietrich about endoscopic ultrasound and the other one from Lars Thorelius, a very provocative one about the future of ultrasound in radiology. I hope these will be of interest to you and may stimulate others out there to write for the Newsletter. Unfortunately I cannot offer you any inducement apart from my grateful thanks and the hope that if you have a so called "bee in your bonnet" you can be almost certain someone else will share that enthusiasm/frustration.

The autumn and EUROSON 2007 still seems a long way away but now is definitely the time to be submitting papers to what promises to be a most interesting meeting in Autumn. I hope to see many of you there.
