Abstract:
Thanks to its excellent spatial resolution and dynamic aspect, ultrasound of the shoulder allows an optimal evaluation of tendon, muscle and nerve' structures in shoulder pain. Through this article and owing to inter-observer reproducibility, we will describe an ultrasound standardized protocol (posterior, anterior, global plane) in basic first ultrasounds (ie without tendon abnormality of the supra/infra spinatus, the biceps and subscapularis).

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...
