A different, and in my experience more common, scenario is that a patient has a sonogram done in the radiology department after seeing her primary physician. The report was one of those "it may be this and it may be that, so please correlate clinically, because we can't exclude any of the following conditions." The patient is terrified. You repeat the sono on the spot in your office, and find a 4cm simple cyst correlating with her menstrual dates, thus saving her from unnecessary surgery. I'll bet that insurers would save a bunch of money if pelvic sonograms were done by gynecologists instead of radiologists, since we are able to provide clinical correlation immediately. Ashley Ashley, you forgot to add to the radiologist's report "an MRI or CT scan may be helpful" :+) Robert Modugno MD MBA FACOG Marietta, GA _www.novaobgyn.yourmd.com_ (http://www.novaobgyn.yourmd.com)

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
