* CEUS helps lower health care costs, in part by reducing the need for more expensive downstream tests.

WHY ICUS?

* With an unparalleled professional depth, ICUS will provide the field of Contrast Ultrasound with its own platform for promoting education, research and development.

* ICUS provides the CEUS field with its own voice for expressing principled, scientifically-based perspectives on the appropriate use and regulation of ultrasound contrast agents.
