Abstract:
Physiatrists are sensitive to the importance of using a diagnostic test as an extension of the clinical examination. Training in electrodiagnostic testing provides an excellent base to learn about integrating ultrasound into one's practice. Given their education in the diagnosis and treatment of neuromusculoskeletal disorders and injuries, with an emphasis on quality of life and functional gains, ultrasound can help physiatrists design the most efficacious and accurate treatment plan. This ultimately provides for adequate patient access and improved outcomes.

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...
