Ultrasonography01:17

Ultrasonography

8.0K
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

1.8K
Introduction:
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...

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Medical Imaging
  • Diagnostic Ultrasound

Background:

  • Ultrasonography (USG) is a noninvasive imaging technique using high-frequency sound waves.
  • USG offers advantages such as real-time imaging, portability, low cost, and absence of radiation.
  • While transcutaneous USG is common, intraoral applications in dentistry are gaining attention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and detail the applications of intraoral ultrasonography in dentistry.
  • To highlight the diagnostic potential of USG for various oral structures.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on intraoral ultrasonography.
  • Analysis of USG's utility in examining specific dental and oral tissues.

Main Results:

  • Intraoral USG is effective for visualizing salivary glands and ducts.
  • It can assess the floor of the mouth, oral mucosa (buccal, labial, palatal), and tongue.
  • USG is also applicable for evaluating periodontal tissues and periapical lesions.

Conclusions:

  • Intraoral ultrasonography presents a valuable, noninvasive tool for dental diagnostics.
  • Its application extends to a wide range of oral structures, enhancing diagnostic capabilities.
  • Further exploration of intraoral USG in dentistry is warranted.
