by Bradley Hayes (Editor)

Diagnostic ultrasound imaging is a type of imaging technique used to view the internal parts or structures of the body. It is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that examines body parts for detecting any kind of damage or problems with functioning. In the process of diagnostic ultrasound, a transducer is placed on the skin, vagina or rectum. There are different types of diagnostic ultrasounds including abdominal ultrasound, renal ultrasound, breast ultrasound, Doppler ultrasound, pelvic ultrasound, transvaginal ultrasound, thyroid ultrasound, and transrectal ultrasound. Renal ultrasound is an ultrasound used to gain information about the location, size and shape of the kidneys. It can also be used to assess information about related structures like ureters and bladder. The conditions such as cysts, tumors, and infections inside and around the kidneys are diagnosed with the help of renal ultrasound. Doppler ultrasound is used to analyze the flow of fluids like blood in the body. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of diagnostic ultrasound imaging. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, it targets students and professionals associated with this field.
