Abstract:
Ultrasound has been used to examine the infant hip for more than 20 years. Clinical neonatal hip screening is performed to identify hip dysplasia and start therapy as soon as possible. Identification of anatomical structures and standard plane with three reference points are the most important features of the method. Ultrasound is used in the determination of head containment in hips with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD). Slipped capital epiphysis and capsular distension can be diagnosed by ultrasound as well.

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...

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
