Ultrasonography and its Role in Clinical Diagnosis

Abstract

Modern advances in clinical diagnostics are largely determined by the improvement of research methods. A significant leap forward in this matter was made thanks to the development and implementation of fundamentally new methods of obtaining medical images, including the ultrasound method. The ability of echography to visualize the internal structure of parenchymal organs is extremely valuable, which was not available with traditional X-ray examination. Thanks to the high information content and reliability of the ultrasound method, the diagnosis of many diseases and injuries has risen to a qualitatively new level. Currently, along with computed tomography and other more modern methods, ultrasound diagnostics is used everywhere, being one of the leading diagnostic methods in many branches of clinical medicine. In recent years, due to the very widespread use of ultrasound equipment, it has become available for any, even very small medical institutions. In this regard, there is a growing need for specialists who are fluent in the methodology and technique of ultrasound examination (ultrasound).
