The EAN as the leading neurological society in Europe in concert with the ESNCH as the leading society in the field of neurosonology offers now the unique opportunity to launch the ERNSono.Ī.
There is a definite need for a well-structured clinical network to seek for further technical progress, to offer a profound education and training program, to test the usefulness of ultrasound in new fields, to implement it in clinical trials and to foster the application of sonography in daily practice. Beside “traditional” vascular neurology, currently new fields of application such as muscle and nerve imaging, orbital ultrasound and online monitoring techniques in intensive care are booming. Neurosonology is an outstanding diagnostic instrument in the hand of clinical neurologists with unique selling points such as specific imaging technology, high spatial resolution, online observation, noninvasiveness as well as broad and easy availability in the clinical routine all over Europe. The Executive Committee of the ESNCH has decided during the annual meeting in Berlin 2017 to joiand to support this initiative. This network is designed as a reference network, which works in close cooperation with the European Society of Neurosonology and Cerebral Hemodynamics ). During the meeting of the EAN Scientific Panel of Neurosonology in Copenhagen 2016, it was decided to establish a Network of European Reference Centers in Neurosonology (ERNSono).
