Correlative Imaging for Sonographers

Correlative Imaging for Sonographers

This lesson teaches sonographers how to use correlative imaging—integrating findings from multiple imaging modalities (CT, MRI, X-ray, nuclear medicine) with ultrasound—to enhance diagnostic accuracy and create comprehensive patient care. Students learn how each modality's unique strengths (CT's speed and spatial resolution, MRI's soft tissue contrast, ultrasound's real-time dynamic assessment) work together to characterize complex abdominal pathologies more effectively than ultrasound alone.
