Features: Ultrasonics is an emerging discipline that is developing at an extremely rapid pace. In clinical practice, the application of ultrasound diagnosis has been widely adopted in grassroots units. In medicine, ultrasound diagnosis involves various clinical departments such as internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics, and pediatrics, covering all parts and organs of the body. Ultrasound examinations are non-invasive and provide immediate results, making them one of the preferred diagnostic methods for emergency and outpatient physicians in many cases. To facilitate reading, this book is organized according to common symptoms encountered in emergency and outpatient settings, enabling easy clinical reference and retrieval, primarily addressing how to read and interpret abnormal reports. The book provides an overview of the basic knowledge of ultrasound, including the differences between grayscale ultrasound and color Doppler ultrasound, as well as common professional terminology. Based on clinical practice and teaching experience, it introduces how to interpret images using normal organs as examples. It also recommends concise diagnostic aphorisms to provide a framework for analyzing ultrasound reports. In the "Clinical Reminder" section, a platform is built for communication between ultrasound physicians and clinical physicians. The author shares their long-term work experience and lessons through this platform with readers. It particularly introduces how to prevent medical disputes, serving as a reference for peers and clinical physicians.
