Abstract
Recent technical advances in ultrasonic imaging have opened up new diagnostic possibilities for the gastroenterologist. This report discusses important points which are necessary for interpretation of what anatomy and pathology can or cannot be seen by ultrasonics. Pathologies discussed include: jaundice; liver tumors; hepatic cysts; vinyl chloride liver disease; diseases of the pancreas; and abdominal masses.
