Abstract:
The paper deals with the potentialities of visualizing the carotid and temporal arteries as well as jugular veins with the help of the non-invasive method for compound real-time ultrasound scanning. In 18, out of twenty healthy volunteers examined, the echotomograms exhibited reasonably clear-cut images of the above-listed vessels. Their localization, size, and pulsation patterns are described, which enables one to differentiate the arterial and venous trunks. Visualization of the vertebral artery was also performed. The technique of ultrasound transducer orientation by means of Doppler sonography is presented.

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...

Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
