Abstract
Preoperative transcutaneous ultrasound allows surgeons to assess the pathology directly, thus supplementing clinical examination of the patient. Technical advances including power doppler, three-dimensional ultrasound, and the advent of ultrasound contrast agents have increased the quality and broadened the diagnostic spectrum of ultrasound. This article reviews relevant new aspects of transcutaneous ultrasound in the surgical setting.Entities:
