The advanced ultrasound review course was held from Apr 09 11, 1999. There were 350 registrants and registrations had to be closed well in advance, on Mar 23, 1999.

This program saw many firsts. Registrations were accepted by email. There were more consultants than residents.

The workshops and demonstrations went well and on schedule. The cases which were brought for the demonstrations showed different pathologies which helped make the workshops very interesting. The quiz by Dr. Suresh was extremely popular.

Credit goes to Dr. Swaroop Potdar, Dr. Rashmi Shah, Dr. Reemanshu Goel and Dr. Aparna for handling all the back-office work.
