The Zedu weekly wrap - bringing together the best in free ultrasound news, views and opinions from across the internet.

Zedu Weekly Wrap – 21 November 2025

Crikey – we’re into the last week of November…

which means that summer break is almost upon us. While the team here is busy planning their holiday time, there is still heaps of ultrasound training to be completed. It will be a well earned break.

As an FYI – our office will be closed over the period 19 December to 11 January. Not long now!

Talking of breaks, in breaking news this week (see what I did there) take a look … 🚀✨

  • The November issue of the POCUS Journal – always a highlight  (18 November)
  • A piece on Point-of-Care Ultrasound for Recognizing Retained Products of Conception from EMDocs  (20 November)

Off to raise a Christmas tree – yup, things are in motion!

See you next week.

Zedu - course calendar released to December 2026

Make 2026 your year of ultrasound and check out our range of
scheduled and one-on-one options that will get you scanning like a pro.

Plus – as the cultural capital of Australia – why not tie in a bit of training with a touch of AO tennis, speed through at the Melbourne GP or have a laugh at the International Comedy Festival.

If you know the value of protected learning time, secure your place early.

P.S. – don’t forget – if something doesn’t quite fit your learning objectives or availability we can design and deliver a program that meets your needs. Don’t tell everyone though – availability is limited.

Limited echocardiogram acquisition by novice clinicians aided with deep learning: A randomized controlled trial

Deep learning (DL) software overlay. The system uses AI guidance that overlays over the standard Philips Lumify display to aid the user in image acquisition (yellow arrows). The figure shows two possible states of the system: navigation for an optimal view (a), and holding the position once an optimal view has been obtained (b). The display is continuously updated while the user performs the exam
