AIUM Practice Parameter for the Performance of Ultrasound Examination in the Practice of Urology (Videos)

The clinical aspects of this parameter (Introduction, Specifications for Individual Examinations, and Equipment Specifications) were developed collaboratively by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) and the American Urological Association (AUA). Several sections of this parameter (Qualifications and Responsibilities of
Personnel, Documentation, and Quality Control and Improvement, Safety, Infection Control, and Patient Education Concerns) vary between the organizations and are addressed by each separately.
This parameter has been developed to assist practitioners performing an ultrasound examination in the practice of urology. While it is not possible to detect every abnormality, adherence to the following parameters will maximize the probability of answering the clinical question prompting the study.

CME credit for this video program is available through December 1, 2019.
