Abstract:
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this video article is to review the dynamic sonographic assessment of snapping hip syndrome. The video focuses on the extraarticular forms of snapping hip and discusses their possible causes, ultrasound features, and treatment options. The dynamic sonographic technique for evaluating snapping hip syndrome is shown with live scanning videos. CONCLUSION. Dynamic ultrasound is well suited for the assessment of snapping hip syndrome and is essential for confirming the clinical diagnosis of the condition.

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...
