Cardiovascular Ultrasound at its Best
Cutting Edge Science - Brand New Format - Closer Than You Think!

ASE 2008 is a BRAND NEW FORMAT! Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with these exciting new sessions!
	Clinical Cases Case studies to illustrate challenges and pitfalls in diagnosis and decision-making in clinical cardiology.
	Pediatric Sessions Comprehensive review of echocardiography in the diagnosis and anagement of congenital heart disease in children and adults.
	New Technologies Instructional presentations on the physics, the implementation and the clinical applications of recent technological advances in echocardiography.
	Meeting Highlights Summarizing the educational high points of the Scientific Sessions and debating the gaps and challenges in clinical echocardiography: Featuring iLIGHTS (highlights), eMOTION (debates and controversies) and iBEAT (panel discussions).
	Pictures to Practice Full Day Symposium A multi-disciplinary full day symposium aimed to highlight the role of echo in diagnosis, management and clinical outcomes in cardiovascular diseases. Format includes didactic presentations and small-group focused teaching to illustrate optimal and appropriate integration of imaging in clinical decision-making, guide therapy and impact outcomes. Breakout groups A-E will rotate through all five iSENSE and iWORK rooms.
	Live Scanning Real-time demonstrations by sonographer-physician teams on how to acquire, obtain and problem-shoot in clinical echocardiography.
	Living, Surgical and Pathological Anatomy Full Day Symposium A unique, full day educational experience including the pathologist, the echocardiographer and the surgeon demonstrating correlative patho-anatomy of the human heart.
	Audience Response System (ARS) Interact and learn with the faculty using your response system and the digital work book on hot topics in clinical echocardiography.
	Plenary Sessions A synthesis of advances in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease, focused on current and evolving challenges for the imager.
	Breakfast with Sonographer Experts Ask and get what you want on all things practical: Physics, knobs, transducers, hardware, software and ergonomics. Space is limited.
	Multi-Modality/Disciplinary Imaging Illustrative presentations on how imaging technologies compare and impact clinical practice in the era of reimbursement, quality and appropriateness.
	Industry Technology (Non-CME) Demonstrations by Industry on vendor-specific software and hardware utilization: Learn to use and extract the best from what you have in your laboratory. By invitation only.
	Breakfast with Faculty Experts One-on-one interaction with chosen experts, using focused case studies on specific topics. Space is limited.
	Sonographer Sessions Interactive educational presentations on all matters that concern the sonographer.
	Computer Sessions Learn to interpret, measure, calculate and problem-shoot using individual computers and the digital work book, incorporating software from major ultrasound platforms. ASE would like to thank GE Healthcare, Philips Ultrasound and SIEMENS Medical Solutions for providing educational grants to support the iWORK sessions. Space is limited.
Innovative Science in the Exhibit & Poster Hall!
