Abdominal and Bowel Ultrasound Knowledge Among Young Gastroenterologists: Results of an Italian Survey.

ABSTRACT: Background: The diagnostic accuracy of abdominal ultrasound (US) is operator-dependent and, therefore, influenced by inadequate training and lack of continuous medical education.

The survey was distributed via e-mail to AGGEI me
