Abstract:
There is a sense that ultrasound (US) is falling behind other technologies, and has taken a diminished role in modern radiology. Fortunately, there are newer innovations in ultrasound that seem very promising. 3-D ultrasound has aided in better imaging of multiple regions, including the uterus, breast, carotids, and even superficial musculoskeletal structures. Other recent innovations include the use of ultrasound contrast agents, for improved visualization, and utilizing high ultrasound energy to initiate chemo-embolization and clot thrombolysis.

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...
