Welcome to the CMO Corner

As an emergency physician, I have taken care of thousands of patients who have benefitted from bedside ultrasound and I consider it to be an indispensible tool. Many across the medical profession share the same view. In fact, the value of ultrasound is of such importance that the sheer volume of published information is overwhelming.

That’s why we’ve created the CMO Corner.  It is meant to distill relevant information about portable ultrasound so you can access it without spending hours online. The CMO Corner will be regularly updated with commentary on peer-reviewed articles, links to relevant abstracts, and other news of note. 

I invite you check back regularly for new articles.  I also welcome you to contact me directly with information which you believe would benefit others.

Sincerely,
Diku Mandavia, MD, FACEP, FRCPC
Chief Medical Officer
