Ultrasound vs MRI. The development of less expensive portable ultrasound machines has opened the market to non-radiologists, while applications for musculoskeletal ultrasound have broadened.
It is said that selective substitution of musculoskeletal ultrasound for MRI could result in significant cost saving to the health care system. But, is it that simple? What about important issues such as accuracy, variability, education, and competence?
This course addresses these issues and also compares and contrasts image interpretation, accuracy, observer-variability, economic impact, and education with regard to musculoskeletal ultrasound and MRI.
