Total Body Ultrasound
About 40 years after its introduction in Imaging Methods, Ultrasound has seen its applications in the healthcare field grow progressively, now finding routine application in almost all fields of Medicine.
Its qualities as a non-invasive method, widely available, of rapid use, suitable for evaluating the functional dynamics of many organs, combined with the qualities of non-harmful and non-painful investigation have decreed its success in the medical field and the great acceptance by Patients of all ages.
It is now the first level investigation in a large number of pathologies, as well as representing the ideal method for routine screening checks in many areas, from oncology to general prevention. In expert hands, it has a very high diagnostic value and allows the subsequent use of more complex, risky and invasive methods such as CT and MRI to be limited to a few selected cases.
