Abstract:
The basic theory of diagnostic ultrasonography is presented. After explanation of the underlying physical principles and the A- and B-scan mode, ultrasound devices, as used in abdominal sonography (electronic parallel scanner, mechanical and electronic sector scanner), are presented. Numerous possible artefacts are illustrated. Potential side effects of diagnostic ultrasonography are considered and the examination procedure is explained.

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...
