The Asian Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (AFSUMB) was launched in 1987 with representatives from five countries including Japan, China, Korea, and Malaysia. The AFSUMB is currently the largest federation in WFUMB that combines six area federations throughout the world and consists of approximately 50,000 members from 50 countries, including approximately 18,000 members from 16 countries in Asia. In addition to the AFSUMB Congress, the AFSUMB has been providing its members with diverse educational opportunities such as the WFUMB COE in Asia to share the latest information in the field of ultrasound in medicine and biology.
