  • 1.  Ultrasound Archival

    Posted 12-07-2020 15:23
    Good afternoon,

    Our practice is seeking information regarding ultrasound image archival.  Does anyone know if there are specific federal regulations on the amount of time images must be stored? 

    Thank you in advance for your responses,

    Ashley – These would be classified just as nay other medical record. Check your state statute to be certain. Most are 7 years for adults and 7 years after the age of majority for pediatric patients.....
