Abstract
It has been assumed that the introduction of ultrasonography in diagno stic imaging has led to dramatic changes in imaging routines by replac ing other modalities like angiography, intravenous urography, and comp uterized tomography in several diagnostic procedures. The present retr ospective study from five Norwegian hospitals during the period from 1 978 to 1991 confirm this assumption, showing how ultrasonographic exam inations have influenced diagnostic routines.
