It certainly isn't going to be policed by those who stand to profit the most from its abuse. GE is a huge corporation, and with the current USA government under such strong influence (control?) by the corporate culture, it may be difficult to maintain the logical and orderly use of diagnostic sonography. Those who stand to profit the most from it's abuse are not going to care who uses sonography for medical or non-medical purposes. This is going to require a very difficult and huge public relations effort to educate the public and government about the risks of diagnostic sonography due to wrong or missed diagnoses.

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.
