Ultrasound
Ultrasound examination
In medicine, ultrasound is used to poor strength. According to previous studies, the ultrasound did not show any harmful biological or mechanical effects to the human body and diagnostic doses proved to be totally safe. Harmful effects of ultrasound is used in medicine has not been proven. Compared with CT and MRI, ultrasound is much cheaper and available to any health care institution. No ionizing radiation so that searches can be repeated several times.
Ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis
This review is obtained insight into the abdominal organs: liver, gall bladder, pancreas, kidney, spleen, bladder, prostate, uterus, ovaries. Thanks to the ease and safety of examination, ultrasound is a safe, effective method for detecting diseases of the abdominal organs. Ultrasound examination of the urinary tract includes an analysis of the renal parenchyma and pelvic organs, especially the bladder and prostate. Ultrasound can show the pathological changes of the adrenal glands and retroperitoneum.
This review is for convex probe 3.5 - 5 MHz. THE infection of the abdomen can detect tumors, cysts, abscesses of the liver, enlarged bile duct, gall stones and other diseases. To view the abdominal ultrasound patient should be fasted for 12 hours, especially if you are performing the examination of the gallbladder. As the air in the intestines and stomach (meteorism) significantly impedes ultrasound examination, it is desirable that the respondent at least 2 to 3 days before the time is not taken food that causes the formation of gas in the digestive tract. Should recommend current and mashed foods, and avoid foods with a lot of debris, rich in fiber (cellulose, pectin), which is the most in some whole grains, fruits and vegetables. To view the pelvis is necessary that the patient review comes with a full bladder. The pancreas, because of its location, it is not always available ultrasound examination, usually because the air in the intestines. The bladder should be filled bladder (drink 1.5 liters of water 2 hours before the test and do not urinate).

Ultrasound joints, tendons, muscles
This review is possible to diagnose hematoma and rupture of the muscle as well as the expansive changes - tumors in the muscle. When tendon rupture, particularly Achill tendon ultrasound provides reliable data. In injuries of the joints ultrasound detects hematoma and spills as well as damage to the meniscus knee joints. For this review used the probe 5, 7.5 and 10 MHz.
Ultrasound central nervous system
Ultrasound examination of the central nervous system serves kraniospinalnih diagnose birth defects, and in infancy, due to the open fontanelle used in determining abnormalities chamber system and intracranial bleeding.
