From stethoscope to ultrasound: an Italian survey of nephrology ultrasound practice
This survey showed that US is widely used in Italian nephrology centers for renal and urinary tract imaging, AVF assessment, and CVC insertion. However, it also revealed a strong interest among nephrologists in further enhancing their US competencies through structured training programs, which should be promoted to improve the performance and diffusion of US in nephrology care.
