Celebrating 10 Years of The Ultrasound Journal

This year The Ultrasound Journal celebrates its 10th Anniversary since its launch. Since 2009, the journal has experienced many changes; becoming fully Open Access in 2012, receiving inclusion in PubMed Central in 2015, and most recently changing its title from Critical Ultrasound Journal, which was finalised at the start of this year.

We now look forward to the next 10 years at the journal, and hope you will join us as we build on our success so far.
