Abstract:
Duplex sonography as a non-invasive technique to measure splanchnic and hepatoportal haemodynamics under physiological and pathophysiological conditions has recently attracted much attention. Determination of arterial and venous profiles enables reproducible pre- and postoperative flow estimations. Furthermore, this technique has harvested many interesting results in the complicating haemodynamic changes seen in patients with portal hypertension. The technique can even be considered as gold standard in the evaluation of flow changes in patients after orthotopic liver transplantation. This article reviews the use of duplex scanning in the splanchnic vascular bed.

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...

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...
