Gastrointestinal Ultrasonography

Gastrointestinal ultrasonography is a medical imaging technique that uses sound waves to create images of the organs in the digestive system, such as the stomach and intestines. In emergency settings, it helps doctors quickly assess conditions like bowel obstruction, appendicitis, or organ injuries. The procedure is non-invasive, requires no radiation, and can be done at the bedside. By viewing real-time images, healthcare providers can make fast, informed decisions about treatment, helping to improve patient care during urgent situations.
