It all started with one patient.

Ultrasound Changed My Life

When I first started learning ultrasound, I found it difficult.

There were so many views to learn, structures to recognize and findings to understand. Like many clinicians learning ultrasound, I sometimes wondered whether I was actually seeing what I was supposed to see.

But the more I learned, the more ultrasound changed the way I approached my patients.

Then came a moment I will never forget.

  

In 2017, while working in the intensive care unit, I was involved in the care of a critically ill patient. Using ultrasound, we identified cardiac tamponade — a life-threatening condition where fluid around the heart prevents it from pumping properly.

Being able to see what was happening helped us act quickly.

That experience showed me just how powerful ultrasound can be when we have the knowledge and confidence to use it.

One patient was only the beginning


When I later told my mother what had happened, she said something that stayed with me:

“It's wonderful that you helped save one life. But imagine how many more people could be helped if you shared what you've learned with others.”

That thought never really left me.

And years later, it became part of the reason NorVue was created.

The story behind NorVue


Hear the story in my own words.
 

This is our mission


We know what it feels like to learn ultrasound —
and how complicated it can seem at first.

That's why we created NorVue:
to make ultrasound education clear, visual and practical,
so healthcare professionals can build confidence
and use what they learn in clinical practice.

See more. Do more. Care better.

Partner

Eirik Tjønnfjord

Senior Consultant in thrombosis and hemostasis outpatient clinic
Hospital Ă–stfold Kalnes & OUS Rikshospitalet

Eirik (born 1979) completed his medical education in Denmark in 2009 and currently works as a senior consultant at the thrombosis outpatient clinic at Hospital Ă–stfold Kalnes and Rikshospitalet. His primary interest lies in benign hematology with a particular focus on thrombosis, coagulation, and rare conditions such as immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). During his education, he encountered ultrasound DVT and echocardiography, which sparked his interest in these fields, especially now in connection with the thrombosis clinic.

Due to the high number of patients with serious illnesses and tough treatments in benign and malignant hematology, Eirik has also come across patients with erectile dysfunction, and this has become a special area of interest for him over the last year with a focus on shockwave-treatment and therapy. Additionally, Eirik is partner of NorVue and is one of the instructors you will meet in the online courses.
