Abdomen, Pelvis, Small Parts
Abdomen, Pelvis, and Small Parts Ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging examination that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize internal organs, soft tissues, glands, and blood vessels. It is widely used for the evaluation of abdominal organs, pelvic structures, thyroid gland, breast tissue, scrotum, and other superficial anatomical structures.
