Ultrasonic imaging of the abdomen. Report of the ultrasonography task force. Council on Scientific Affairs, American Medical Association
As new imaging modalities emerge and existing technologies improve,
indications for a particular imaging method may change. This article
examines current indications for abdominal and prostatic ultrasound
examination and, where possible, compares ultrasound with other imaging
techniques. This is not an attempt to list all possible ultrasound
indications or examinations, but rather an attempt to serve as an aid to
informed imaging selection based on current literature and equipment.
