    This study found diagnostic ultrasound to be 85% accurate for various lesions. Ultrasound is most useful for diagnosing and monitoring abdominal issues in surgical patients, complementing surgical assessment.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Diagnostic Ultrasound
    • Surgical Assessment

    Background:

    • Sonography is a noninvasive diagnostic technique.
    • Evaluating the reliability of sonography is crucial for patient care.
    • Previous studies have explored ultrasound's diagnostic capabilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the usefulness and reliability of sonography.
    • To compare sonographic results with operative findings and other diagnostic methods.
    • To determine the accuracy of ultrasound in diagnosing various lesions.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 87 patients undergoing sonographic examinations.
    • Comparison of sonographic findings with surgical outcomes or other diagnostic data.
    • Analysis of diagnostic accuracy based on organ and lesion type.

    Main Results:

    • Overall diagnostic accuracy of sonography was 85%.
    • False-positive or false-negative results occurred in 15% of cases.
    • Highest accuracy was observed for renal and hepatic masses.

    Conclusions:

    • Diagnostic ultrasound is a reliable tool for evaluating abdominal problems in surgical patients.
    • Ultrasound is most effective when used in conjunction with clinical surgical assessment.
    • Sonography aids in both the diagnosis and follow-up of surgical abdominal conditions.
