(AUS) Abdominal ultrasound, also known as abdominal sonography, is a medical imaging technique that focuses on the visualization and assessment of the abdominal organs. While 'abdominal ultrasound' is the commonly used term, there are alternative terms that can be used to refer to this imaging modality: (TAE) transabdominal echography, abdominal ultrasonography, sonogram, FAST (Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma). Abdominal ultrasound imaging is an invaluable clinical tool for identifying the underlying cause of abdominal pain. An abdominal ultrasound examination encompasses a comprehensive evaluation of the liver, gallbladder, biliary tree, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and abdominal blood vessels. It is a cost-effective, safe, and non-invasive medical imaging modality that is typically utilized as the initial diagnostic investigation. Advanced ultrasound techniques, such as high-resolution ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasound, and contrast-enhanced Doppler, further enhance the detection of small lesions and provide detailed information for precise diagnosis. To prepare for an abdominal ultrasound, it is recommended to have nothing to eat or drink for at least 8 hours, starting from midnight the night before the examination. Indications:
•
Abdominal pain
•
Gallbladder or kidneys stones
•
Inflammation
•
Detection of cancer and metastasis
FAST (Focused Assessment with Sonography for Trauma) is a rapid diagnostic test used for trauma patients. It sequentially evaluates the presence of free fluid in the pericardium (hemopericardium) and in four specific views of the abdomen. These views include the right upper quadrant (RUQ), left upper quadrant (LUQ), subcostal, and suprapubic views. They aid in identifying hemoperitoneum in patients with potential truncal injuries. The space between the liver and the right kidney (RUQ), known as Morison's pouch, is a location where intraperitoneal fluid can accumulate. Emergency abdominal ultrasonography is indicated in cases of suspected aortic aneurysm, appendicitis, biliary and renal colic, as well as blunt or penetrating abdominal trauma. It plays a crucial role in the timely assessment and management of these conditions, providing critical information to guide appropriate treatment decisions.
