Abstract

Ultrasound (US) is an image modality providing the examiner with real-time images which reflect the morphological properties in soft tissue. Different types of transducers are used for different kind of exams. US is cheap, fast, and safe. US is widely used in abdominal imaging including obstetrics and gynaecology plus cardiology. Furthermore, US has gained significant interest in rheumatology, orthopaedics and anaesthetics. Colour Doppler and spectral Doppler is useful in vascular imaging. The use of US contrast increases accuracy in liver imaging. US can guide for different interventional procedures.
