This is a revision of the 2010 version of the guideline. The guideline’s scope has expanded to include pediatric and pregnant patients.
This new guideline summarizes suggested wait times for common indications where ultrasound is the recommended first imaging test. The purpose is to inform primary care practitioners how referrals are prioritized by radiologists, radiology departments, and community imaging clinics across the province. In some cases, notes and alternative tests are provided for additional clinical context. This guideline is an adaptation of the British Columbia Radiological Society (BCRS) Ultrasound Prioritization Guidelines (2016).
