The "Leading Edge" is the annual educational conference of the Jefferson Ultrasound Institute. The conference provides updates on the major specialty areas and overviews of the "hot" topics in diagnostic ultrasound. The Leading Edge program has established a reputation for excellence since its debut in 1980. The program is designed to meet the educational and CME needs of physicians, sonographers, vascular technologists, nurse midwives and other participants. Parallel tracks allow the attendees to create a "custom" program that addresses the areas of most interest to them. The major themes that will be covered in the 2009 Leading Edge program include Women's Imaging, Vascular Imaging and Doppler, a Principles Tune-Up, Pediatric Ultrasound, Musculoskeletal Ultrasound, Contrast Agents "Requisites", Elastography Tutorial, Fetal Nuchal Translucency Credentialing Course and  Emergency and Critical Care.

The academic program is complimented by a large exhibit area where manufacturers display their latest diagnostic equipment. Coffee breaks and the grand reception are held in the exhibit hall, providing a great opportunity to shop for a book, learn about new types of supplies, or appraise the latest in ultrasound equipment. Please join us in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA, at the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa for the 2010 Leading Edge Conference.
