Ultrasound in ER

Ultrasound is a non-invasive diagnostic tool that uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the inside of the body. It can be performed at the bedside, which allows for rapid diagnosis and treatment. Ultrasound is particularly useful in ER because it does not expose the patient to ionizing radiation, unlike X-ray and CT scans. It is also useful in evaluating pregnancy-related emergencies such as ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage.
