Abstract:
CME Sonography 95/Answers: Sonographic Differential Diagnosis of Anterior Shoulder Pain Abstract. Anterior shoulder pain is common, and, compared to high-resolution dynamic sonography, the clinical examination is usually not precise enough for the exact classification of the cause of the pain. In this review we discuss possible causes of anterior shoulder pain with special emphasis on the ultrasound diagnosis of causes of subcoracoidal impingement and of anterior snapping syndrome. We use high-resolution ultrasound images to illustrate various possible underlying pathologies in anterior shoulder pain.

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...
