Abstract:
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes that can result in severe lower limb pain and amputation. Early detection and treatment of DPN are vital, but this condition is often missed due to a lack of symptoms and the insensitivity of testing methods. This article reviews various ultrasound imaging modalities in the direct and indirect evaluation of peripheral neuropathy. Moreover, how ultrasound-related therapeutic strategies are playing a role in clinical treatment is discussed. Finally, the application of innovative methodologies in the diagnosis of DPN, including ultrasound attenuation, photoacoustic imaging, and artificial intelligence, is described.

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...
