The Critical Ultrasound Journal, the official journal of the WINFOCUS (World Interactive Network Focused on Critical UltraSound), will change its name to The Ultrasound Journal to reflect the expanding scope of ultrasound in medicine and the inclusive nature of WINFOCUS and the journal.
While ultrasound is a 'critical' component of health care decisions and practice, having 'critical' in the name of the journal has led to some confusion as to the content of the journal, especially for those interested in non-critical care use of ultrasound and potential authors. In addition, the level of interest in ultrasound has greatly expanded among practitioners of all specialties and sub-specialties and levels of care. This has been accompanied by a corresponding explosion of interest in ultrasound education and research.
It is expected that The Ultrasound Journal will not only continue the high level of scholarly publication of the Critical Ultrasound Journal but also provide an expanded view of ultrasound scholarly activity, offer opportunities for more authors to publish their important work, and better convey our goal of disseminating important advances across the spectrum of ultrasound.
