  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
