Study: Picking US over MRI for MSK imaging could save billions
By Brian Casey
The U.S. could save up to $736 million annually -- and billions over the course of the next 15 years -- if physicians used ultrasound rather than MRI for musculoskeletal imaging when clinically indicated, according to researchers from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia. They examined how much money could be saved if ultrasound were substituted for MRI for musculoskeletal imaging applications in which clinical evidence shows that ultrasound is at least comparable to MRI.
