Evidence suggests that ultrasound is vastly underused in the United States compared to the rest of the industrialized world, despite the fact that for a growing number of clinical conditions, ultrasound has been shown to be equally effective, if not superior, in its diagnostic capability, with a distinct advantage in safety and cost over CT and MRI. The AIUM will host a forum on November 12, 2012 in New York, to address the expanding role of ultrasound imaging as a “first” imaging examination. The forum will bring together a broad range of stakeholders, including leading health care experts, representatives from medical societies, insurers, the US Olympic Committee, the military, patient advocacy groups, government agencies, industry, and others.
