Technologies such as Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS), Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry (REMS), and Bindex are changing how clinicians evaluate bone density and fracture risk. These … Continue reading Beyond DXA: The Expanding Role of Ultrasound in Bone Density Assessment

Primary Care/Abdominal Ultrasound Testimonial

I’m a gastroenterologist and I’ve recently added a new technique to what I do. I look after a lot of patients with inflammatory bowel disease and intestinal ultrasound, which is sort of a subspecialty within ultrasound. This is being performed now by a lot of clinicians rather than ultrasonography, and it is a new area which I’ve sort of become involved in.  I realized that … Continue reading Primary Care/Abdominal Ultrasound Testimonial
