  • Title: The ultrasonically enhanced abdominal examination.
    Author: Crade M, Viscomi GN, Taylor KJ.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1981 Feb; 23(2):185-93. PubMed ID: 7457326.
    Abstract:
    Ultrasound is a unique diagnostic imaging tool that enhances the physical examination of the abdomen, without the hazards of radiation. The physician can instantly visualize palpated masses or areas of tenderness during ultrasound examination, and immediate correlation of tissue texture and clinical findings is possible. This combined approach aids in identifying inflammatory, neoplastic and degenerative pathology, as well as normal anatomic variations mimicking disease.
