Abstract:
The authors, after a careful review of the scientific literature and on the basis of biophysical concepts with their own experience, conclude that high-intensity ultrasounds (US) are responsible for some biological lesions, which are partly unknown. US can cause burns and skin necrosis; thus, our employment of this technique must be correct, justified, and practiced very carefully and shrewdly and its advantages versus traditional liposuction must be reviewed.

01:17Ultrasonography
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.

01:20Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Introduction:
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...
