Abstract:
It has been assumed that the introduction of ultrasonography in diagnostic imaging has led to dramatic changes in imaging routines by replacing other modalities like angiography, intravenous urography, and computerized tomography in several diagnostic procedures. The present retrospective study from five Norwegian hospitals during the period from 1978 to 1991 confirm this assumption, showing how ultrasonographic examinations have influenced diagnostic routines.
