heyy mate...!!!
Ultrasound is used to create images of anatomical features based on the different sonic reflectiveness properties of those structures.
Applications include:
Echocardiography: to assess multiple cardiac function metrics including ejection fraction, Wall motion, and valve function.
Abdominal ultrasound: gold standard for diagnosing acute cholecystitis
F.A.S.T. abdominal trauma assessment
Venous ultrasound: used to assess deep vein thrombosis, guide venous catheterization, assess for pseudoaneurysms etc
Endoscopic ultrasound: performed by specialized gastroenterologists, in ERCP a mini internal ultrasound probe can be used to visualize pancreatic cancer and other masses, facilitating biopsy and diagnostics
EBUS: endobronchial ultrasound can be deployed in the airways via bronchoscopy to guide a needle through the airway to facilitate biopsy of suspicious lesions otherwise unreachable.
Thoracic ultrasound: to guide thoracentesis and assess extent of pleural effusions
IVUS: intravascular ultrasound. Most typically exploited by interventional cardiologists to assess the cross sectional degree of blockage resulting from a plaque in the coronary arteries. The results are used to make a real time decision on whether to deploy a stent or perform other intervention.
Obstetrics: perhaps the most well known application. Fetal monitoring, confirmation of pregnancy and development etc.
General uses: assess for abscesses, fluid collections, guide various biopsies including those of the thyroid and other organs, and even assist is some orthopedic injuries involving muscles and tendons.
