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

Zedu Weekly Wrap – 17 October 2025

What a week it’s been at Zedu…

and what a way to officially open our new home! 🎉

On Wednesday we welcomed friends, colleagues, and leaders from across the ultrasound industry and surprise visitors from around the world to celebrate this incredible milestone.

It was fantastic catching up with so many who’ve been part of the Zedu story over the years – and to share what’s next for Australia’s home of ultrasound.

We’re just getting started, and can’t wait to host many more events, courses, and collaborations right here at Zedu HQ.

Tune in now for all the free ultrasound news highlights in this week’s wrap including… 🚀✨

  • Novel 4-Stage Classification to Estimate Right Atrial Pressure by Point-of-Care Ultrasound of Neck Vasculature (13 October);
  • What Echocardiographic Findings Suggest Acute Type A Aortic Dissection? (11 October).

See you all next week.
