FAQ

Clinical ultrasound in hepato-gastroenterology

  • When should I perform a clinical ultrasound in hepatology?

    Clinical ultrasound is a very useful technique in hepatology. It can provide answers to specific questions in a matter of minutes, right in the office: presence of fluid in the perihepatic space, signs of lesions, liver cirrhosis, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, gallstones, ascites, etc.

    Clinical ultrasound is a non-irradiating, non-invasive and painless examination, generally well tolerated by patients of all ages. This technique enables you to enhance your clinical examination, confirm or refute a diagnostic suspicion, and make decisions about the next step in your care with greater confidence and serenity.

  • When should I perform a clinical ultrasound in gastroenterology?

    Clinical ultrasound is a non-irradiating, non-invasive and painless examination, generally well tolerated by patients of all ages. This technique enables you to enrich your clinical examination, confirm or refute a diagnostic suspicion, and make decisions about the next step in your care with greater confidence and serenity.

  • How can I learn about clinical ultrasound?

    Initiation to the use of a clinical ultrasound probe is very straightforward. You will then need to perform several sections per organ to familiarize yourself with the gesture and probe positioning required to obtain quality images of the tissues in question. You will also need to practice analyzing slices of both healthy and pathological organs.

    echOpen offers resources to introduce you to the practice of clinical ultrasonography and the interpretation of your images.

    For further training, several universities offer DU and DIU courses that train you in the practice of specialty ultrasonography.

    No specific training or diploma is required to practice clinical ultrasound if you hold a medical doctor's diploma - including ultrasound procedures.

  • Which clinical ultrasound probe to choose?

    We advise you to choose an ultraportable clinical ultrasound probe, in view of their efficiency, versatility and robustness.

    Ultraportable, personal clinical ultrasound probes slip easily into your pocket, enabling you to start an examination in just a few seconds.

    Affordable and with sufficient autonomy for a day's consultations, ultraportable clinical ultrasound probes such asechOpen O1 also have the advantage of being non-wireless, making them easier to place, hold and move. They connect to a simple smartphone, which can be used to record images, video loops and annotations.

    echOpen also offers a range of digital services, including introductory modules, quizzes and a collaborative space where you can exchange with the medical community and seek advice on complex clinical cases.
