Research question
The use of ultrasound diagnostic imaging is increasing. Despite the importance of ultrasound, studies indicate that a significant proportion of ultrasound investigations may not significantly impact patient care, meaning the imaging is unlikely to modify patient management or outcomes.
The research question is: What are the indications for ultrasound that demonstrate high clinical value and contribute to patient outcomes, and conversely, what are the indications that lack clinical utility and do not significantly benefit patient care?
To answer the research question of this systematic review project, a systematic literature search was conducted by searching Medline (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), the Cochrane Library, CINAHL (EBSCOhost), and Google Scholar.
