Ultraschall in der Medizin

Aims & Scope

Ultraschall in der Medizin / European Journal of Ultrasound publishes scientific papers and contributions from a variety of disciplines on the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of ultrasound with an emphasis on clinical application.

Technical papers with a physiological theme as well as the interaction between ultrasound and biological systems might also occasionally be considered for peer review and publication, provided that the translational relevance is high and the link with clinical applications is tight.

The editors and the publishers reserve the right to publish selected articles online only.

Authors are welcome to submit supplementary video material.

Letters and comments are also accepted, promoting a vivid exchange of opinions and scientific discussions.
