Abstract:
Cardiac ultrasound is a perspective and mostly non-invasive examination method, which has theoretical and practical prerequisites of wider use. The unexpected rapid progress of the echo-cardiographic technique will continue and penetrate into all spheres of diagnosis of the cardiovascular system. The prerequisite is ever improving equipment, incl. basic instruments, transducers and the standard of echocardiologists. Only then it will be possible to improve by echocardiography the present diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in cardiovascular medicine for the benefit of all specialists engaged in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

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...

Types of Echocardiography
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...
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
