[Picture documentation in ultrasonic diagnosis]. 1985

H J Zabel, and A Lorenz, and G van Kaick

In addition to a written report, ultrasound findings also require picture documentation. Cuts in physician fees warrant optimal cost-effectiveness in ultrasound documentation. Of the presently available equipment for permanent image recording off the monitor and direct electronic recording the following are to be discussed and compared: Polaroid recording, X-ray film, 35 mm roll film, dry silver paper, video-tape, floppy-disc, optical disc recorder and electronic still camera. The costs per picture, including investment and operating costs in relation to annual number of examinations, are calculated for the various systems.

D003362	Cost-Benefit Analysis	A method of comparing the cost of a program with its expected benefits in dollars (or other currency). The benefit-to-cost ratio is a measure of total return expected per unit of money spent. This analysis generally excludes consideration of factors that are not measured ultimately in economic terms. In contrast a cost effectiveness in general compares cost with qualitative outcomes.
