"Echocardiography is a widely utilized diagnostic tool in the United States, with its use increasing over the past decades. In 2010, approximately 20% of Medicare fee-for-service enrollees underwent at least one echocardiogram, accounting for about 1.2 billion USD in Medicare spending on imaging services.
A study analyzing data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) reported that from 2001 to 2011, around 7.67 million echocardiograms were performed, reflecting an average annual increase of 3.41%.
While specific figures for the total number of echocardiograms conducted annually in the U.S., including both private and Medicare-covered tests, are not readily available, these data points suggest a substantial and growing utilization of echocardiography across various healthcare settings."
