Purdue University researchers are using ultrasound images like this one to study abdominal aortic aneurysms, a potentially fatal condition that is the 13th leading cause of death in the United States.

Abdominal and small parts ultrasound relies on understanding organ anatomy, relational positioning, and common pathologies. Sonographers must know the peritoneal spaces, organ landmarks, and normal ...

Ultrasound can’t detect stomach ulcers as easily as other methods, like upper endoscopy. But since ultrasound is noninvasive, it might be beneficial in some situations, like detecting large ulcers or ...

Ultrasound uses high frequency sound waves generated electronically using special crystals in a probe. The sound travels through your body, and bounces off different tissues and back to a receiver on ...

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has increasingly emerged as a pivotal imaging modality in the diagnosis and management of abdominal trauma. By utilising microbubble contrast agents, CEUS enhances ...

The use of intraoperative ultrasound to guide the excision of sonographically visible but nonpalpable lesions is a newer modality. Its use in intraoperative localization of recurrent malignant soft ...

Despite evidence showing that the routine use of sonography in hospital emergency departments can safely improve care for adults when evaluating for possible abdominal trauma injuries, researchers ...

Aim: To prospectively assess the validity of detecting portal venous gas on abdominal ultrasound (PVGUS) in the diagnosis of suspected NEC. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study over a ...

Ultrasound has gained popularity owing to its multiplanar use and lack of ionizing radiation. Traditionally, it has been most helpful differentiating solid from cystic lesions such as lesions within ...
