In May, the CBR participated in the CBHPM Technical Chamber meeting at the Brazilian Medical Association (AMB). At the time, as disclosed by the College, the Ultrasonic Hepatic Elastography procedure was included in the CBHPM, after approval on the “Role of the National Supplementary Health Agency (ANS)”.
This fact confirmed yet another important result obtained by the CBR's CBHPM Permanent Discussion Committee, which has sought several improvements in relation to Imagem procedures, always focusing on the appreciation of the specialty.
