AIUM forum touts 'ultrasound first' to boost use of modality
By Cynthia E. Keen
Ultrasound is an underutilized diagnostic imaging exam, according to the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM), which organized a forum to promote the concept of performing "ultrasound first" when clinically indicated. But what will it take to make this happen?
