Abstract:
Acute pain of the shoulder, with or without associated injury shows specific features that enable differentiation from chronic lesions. Osteo-articular injuries, tendinous lesions, bursitis and moving calcification may produce acute pain. Examination of the acromio-clavicular joint is also essential as acromial lesions are often overlooked in emergency radiology. Along with X-ray radiography, sonography, if adequately performed, is able to determine the etiology of acute pain and to establish lesion staging.

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...
