- To establish the presence or absence of free fluid in the abdominal cavity, the size, structure, contours of the pathological focus in the organs, vascular structures
- In time to determine the damage, displacement, dimensions of the abdominal cavity and retroperitoneal space themselves, and to do this in the shortest possible time using a portable ultrasound "SmartScan"
Suitable for diagnostics:
- cystic and fibrous changes;
- tumors;
- concretions;
- fatty degeneration of liver cells;
- infectious lesions of internal organs, including hepatitis;
