Q: What is the significance of ultrasound in medicine?
YTC: Clinical practice allows immediate correlation between dynamic exam and imaging. Ultrasound allows for immediate visual feedback of any local or regional pathologies. It also provides immediate satisfaction and allows to hear patient feedback in real time. It is very important for someone to have detailed knowledge of anatomy when using an ultrasound machine. Aspiring physicians should be taught in terms of anatomy and acknowledge that it is okay to ditch protocol from time to time, in order to properly conduct a thorough exam.
