TY - JOUR AU - Lentz, Brian AU - Fong, Tiffany AU - Rhyne, Randall AU - Risko, Nicholas PY - 2021 DA - 2021/03/09 TI - A systematic review of the cost-effectiveness of ultrasound in emergency care settings JO - The Ultrasound Journal SP - 16 VL - 13 IS - 1 AB - The use of ultrasound (US) in emergency departments (ED) has become widespread. This includes both traditional US scans performed by radiology departments as well as point-of-care US (POCUS) performed by bedside clinicians. There has been significant interest in better understanding the appropriate use of imaging and where opportunities to enhance cost-effectiveness may exist. The purpose of this systematic review is to identify published evidence surrounding the cost-effectiveness of US in the ED and to grade the quality of that evidence.
