[Technical aspects of breast sonography. Experience with an immersion scanner (Octoson) (author's transl)]
Abstract:
The experience with the sonographic examination of 80 patients with an Octoson body unit is described. It was found that with the present technique immersion of the breast in most cases is less satisfactory than compression of the breast. The compound scan improves the information as compared with a single scan up to a point. Immersion sonography, like all other types of ultrasound examination, is at present not satisfactory as the sole method for examining the breast. As an addition to mammography and palpation, sonography is, however, already an important complementary method.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

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...
