Diversity in clinical applications--an advantage of ultrasonography.

the diversity of its applications. This fact emerges from the current number of Medical Ultrasonography. First article which catch the attention discuss the diagnostic approach to maxillary sinusitis using Ultrasonography. One group of pediatric specialists from well known Hospitals in Romania – Clinical Emergency Pediatric Hospital and Radiology Department form Cluj Napoca and, on the other hand, Pediatric Hospital „PhD Alfred Rusescu” from Bucharest – demonstrates the possibility of efficient evaluation of sinuses via Ultrasonography, also detecting inflammatory processes at this level. The study is prospective, the study group is statistical significant, and the results showed a very good correlation between Ultrasonography and radiology. In children, the use of a non-irradiating method to put a positive diagnosis is crucial and becoming more and more important. An interesting observation emerges from the work of a group of researchers from Athens, Greece, regarding the use of Doppler Ultrasonography in the detection of small pleural effusions. Color changes in pleural liquid, induced by the heart beats and the respiratory movements, increases the Ultrasonography specificity in detecting effusion at this level. This conclusion is no more than another argument – if there was need for morefor the use of devices with color flow mapping (CFM) module in ER units and pneumology departments. Doppler Ultrasonography also supports the clinical diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis. The method increases
