The Convergence of POCUS and Traditional Ultrasound – More United Than Divided

For years, POCUS and traditional ultrasound have been framed as distinct approaches - one ruthlessly focused, the other comprehensive and systematic. But in reality, the lines are blurring. Ultrasound is not a CT scan; it’s an operator-dependent tool where clinical context should guide the scan, not rigid protocols. Across emergency, radiology, and critical care settings, we are seeing a shared evolution: targeted ultrasound is becoming more prevalent in radiology, while POCUS continues to expand its reach and depth.

At its core, ultrasound exists to answer critical questions quickly and accurately, directing patient care and improving outcomes. This is a common goal - one that unites us more than it divides us. We will explore:

• Where POCUS and traditional ultrasound stand today

• The shifting landscape of ultrasound practice and how targeted scanning is becoming the new norm

• Our shared challenges—from training to workflow integration

• How we can collaborate to shape a smarter, more effective future for ultrasound

It’s time to focus on what truly matters - delivering the best possible care through ultrasound, together.

Don’t miss this thought-provoking talk about the future of ultrasound and how we can bridge the gap for better patient outcomes.
