Re: 4D IMAGINGFrom: Jeanette Burlbaw (jburlbaw@kumc.edu)Fri Oct 11 08:23:25 2002
Dr. Smeltzer, Those are harsh words. The entertainment video people perhaps are under "snake oil, etc" but simply because it's new and the imaging community hasn't worked through the who, what, where and how yet doesn't make it a gimmick. I once worked with a radiologist who would not buy a real time machine because he didn't trust the "numbers it" produced?.....I still remember looking at him and thinking what are you afraid of? Those of use who have been in the middle of this great technology and it's evolution should be accustomed to the wait and see. And all the promotional hype! I must admit the commercial people have out done themselves in the marketing sector this time. I don't think the control we have lost is lost forever. It is up to us to determine how to use and then educate. Dr. DeVore did a great job of demonstrating the simplicity of how remarkable "4D" can be to educate the patient and the extreme bonding they express during and following. I find it all very interesting. I also have heard about "bonding rooms" in Germany for the family to view the tape following the procedure with an opportunity to discuss, etc. We shall see. As for the patient who initiated this question. Perhaps you should talk to your managing physician. Jeanette

This modality is a marketing gimmick that must be used by those with inferior skills or inadequate incomes.. Unless you have a specific syndrome in your family that is hard to diagnose with normal ultrasound but might be easier with 4D. Jim Smeltzer

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.
