This issue is the last of 2012 and the last with me as editor-in-chief. After six years on the journal, first as assistant editor, then more recently as editor-in-chief, it is time for someone else to manage the publication and I am delighted to introduce retired physicist Dr Kevin Martin as my successor. His field of expertise lies in ultrasound instrumentation, physics and safety. In addition, he has been an active member of the British Medical Ultrasound Society (BMUS) for many years and is a past president of the Society. He has my total support and I wish him every success with the journal. In addition to my good wishes for Kevin, I will take this opportunity to thank some of the key players who have supported me in my editorial role. These people include of course the deputy editors, Drs Jacinta Browne and Diane DeFriend and Professor John Hossack, the team at RSM Press, and also special thanks to Dr Colin Deane and Professor Paul Sidhu who have both been an invaluable source of advice to me on so many occasions.
