[The place of ultrasound diagnosis in internal medicine]
Abstract:
The applications of ultrasound diagnosis within the framework of general medicine are discussed on the basis of case reports. Ultrasonic equipment with manual moving of the probe is used in this department for the investigation of the abdomen in cases of occult neoplasms and metastases to differentiate between cysts and solid tumours and to determine the situation and size of parenchymatous organs like liver and kidney and spleen. Special fields of application are: follow up of patients after renal transplantation, investigation of systemic haematological diseases such as lymphogranuloma, or the demonstration of abnormal fluid masses such as haematomata in haemophilic patients, ascites or pericardial effusions.

Assessment of the Abdomen I: Inspection and Auscultation
The abdominal examination is a cornerstone of clinical medicine, serving as a critical tool in diagnosing various gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. It involves a systematic approach that includes inspection and auscultation, each with distinct yet complementary roles in assessing the abdomen. This article will delve into these two primary methods healthcare professionals use to examine the abdomen.
Inspection of the Abdomen
The first step in any abdominal examination is inspection.

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
