title: Diagnostic ultrasound in the urologist's office.
abstract: The clinical value of diagnostic ultrasound in the management of urologic patients is now firmly established. The use of real time diagnostic ultrasound equipment in the solo office practice of a urologist was evaluated by retrospective office record review covering a period of at least one year. The appropriate use of this equipment in daily office practice is shown to be clinically useful, cost-effective, and easily performed by a urologist. The routine use of diagnostic ultrasound by urologists is recommended.
