Abstract:
Pitfalls in gynaecological ultrasonography may arise during acquisition of images, processing and interpretation. Physical interactions between the ultrasound and body structures may produce artifacts. Physiological processes such as functional ovarian cysts may mimic lesions. Different pathological processes may produce similar ultrasonographical appearances. To minimise errors in interpretation of gynaecological ultrasonography, one needs to be aware of the limitations of ultrasonography, and the similarities in the appearances of various physiological and pathological processes.

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...
