Klinischer Ultraschall (ClinUS) – Konzepte und Kontroversen
Clinical Ultrasound (ClinUS) – Concepts and Controversies
Zusammenfassung
Unter Klinischem Ultraschall (ClinUS) wird die Integration der Ultraschalldiagnostik in die klinische Untersuchung verstanden. Diese Übersicht stellt im Vergleich zu anderen Modellen der Ultraschalldiagnostik ein Konzept vor, das Point-of-Care-Ultraschall, die umfassende fachgebietsspezifische Ultraschalluntersuchung, wie auch den spezialisierten multiparametrischen Ultraschall integriert. Insbesondere am Beispiel der Gastroenterologie und der Allgemeinmedizin werden Anwendungen, Vorteile und Herausforderungen des Klinischen Ultraschalls und dessen Besonderheiten im Vergleich zu anderen Schnittbildverfahren diskutiert.
Abstract
Clinical ultrasound (ClinUS) is the integration of ultrasound diagnostics into the clinical examination. By comparing clinical ultrasound with other models of ultrasound diagnostics, this overview presents a concept that integrates point-of-care ultrasound, comprehensive specialty-specific ultrasound examinations and specialized multiparametric ultrasound. The applications, advantages and challenges of clinical ultrasound and its special features in comparison to other cross-sectional imaging modalities are discussed using the example of gastroenterology and general medicine in particular.
