That being said, in this day of shrinking reimbursement, it's not surprising that cost-considerations may rule the day. Interestingly, the proliferation of "markers" mirrored the improvements in resolution. Apparently, resolution does have its price. As always - just my opinion. I could be wrong. art At Fri, 30 May 2003, Terry J. DuBose wrote: > >Good question... seems it should be up to the sonographer/diagnostician person/team.

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.
