Launch of new “Meet the Ultrasound Scientists” training series a success.
Verasonics is now offering quarterly training seminars titled “Meet the Ultrasound Scientists”. These sessions focus on topics for advanced Vantage users that are not covered in our Verasonics Training Webinar video series. Each “Meet” event features a member of the Verasonics Ultrasound Science Group and showcases a specific product feature or programming topic, with ample time for Q&A with the presenter. Our first event, held on February 23rd, was well-received by nearly 60 customers across the globe.
Curious about the first event?
Current customers can access the Verasonics Community to listen to our first hour-long session “Transmit Energy Options: When do I need Extended Transmit or HIFU?”, led by Peter Kaczkowski, Director of Ultrasound Science.
Interested in attending the next seminar?
Join us May 23 and May 25 for our next ‘Meet the Ultrasound Scientist’ seminar: “Performing Harmonic Imaging: Pulse Inversion or High Pass Filtering?”. Please contact [email protected] to register for this event or inquire about our training programs.
