This year’s annual meeting of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM of Laurel, Md.) is set for March 10th through March 13th in Nashville, Tenn.

AIUM 2002 will offer a variety of educational activities — from new roundtable discussions to 40 small-group sessions to hands-on scanning — including five pre-convention programs scheduled for Sat., March 8th and Sun., March 9th. The pre-show events will provide in-depth information on ultrasound issues, such as vascular, fetal, breast and gynecological ultrasound. The AIUM Business Meeting on Sun., March 9th at 6 p.m., is open to all members and convention attendees.

On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, March 10th through 12th, “Meet-the-Professor” sessions will run several times a day, along with hands-on courses and scientific sessions. Various committee meetings — such as clinical standards; membership; and the education and research fund — will gather over the course of the four-day show.

Ultrasound manufacturers will be showcasing a variety of new products on the exhibit floor, with smaller, easier-to-handle, yet more sophisticated ultrasound systems expected to take much of the spotlight.
