Applications of Diagnostic Imaging Ultrasound

Discover the versatile applications of ultrasound imaging, a safe modality without ionizing radiation. From pregnancy assessment to evaluating soft tissue masses, explore how ultrasound helps in diagnosing conditions in different body systems. Uncover its usefulness in differentiating cystic from solid masses, assessing the liver, biliary tree, kidneys, and other organs. Explore detailed primary applications in head & neck, thorax, pelvis, and soft tissues, bones, and joints with a special focus on fetal brain and cardiac assessments.

  2. Ultrasound • No ionizing radiation • Principles of fairly uniform speed of sound transmission in human tissues • Ability to differentiate fairly subtle tissue differences based on echo reflection and interactions • Application of Doppler principles for fluid motion

  3. Ultrasound • Primary applications: • First line evaluation of pregnancy and developing fetus • First line evaluation for differentiation of cystic from solid masses/ structures • First line evaluation of liver and biliary tree • First line evaluation of kidneys and bladder • First line evaluation of thyroid gland

  4. Ultrasound • Primary applications: • Head & Neck • Thyroid • Adenopathy • Orbits & globe • Salivary glands • Fetal brain • Soft tissue masses • Thorax • Cardiac • Pleural effusions • Breast lesions • Soft tissue masses

  5. Ultrasound • Primary applications: • Pelvis • Pregnant uterus and fetus • Uterus • Fallopian tubes • Ovaries • Bladder • Prostate • Testes and scrotum

  6. Ultrasound • Primary applications: • Soft tissues, bones & joints • Tendons, Ligaments and supporting structures • Fluid collections and masses • Vascular malformations • Artery and vein evaluation • Foreign bodies
