Medical Imaging and Radiotherapy Department, Center for Health Studies (CES-ESSUALG) and CHRC (Comprehensive Health Research Center), APIMR Secretary University of Algarve Faro Portugal.
Background And Aims: The use of ultrasound screening is primarily facilitated by point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) and its integration into healthcare systems is a result of the versatility of this imaging technique. This study intends to compare the accuracy and pertinence of sonographic findings obtained by a sonographer in a Basic Emergency Service (BES) with that of radiologists at referral hospital (RH) in Portugal.
Methods: Twenty patients with right upper quadrant (RUQ) pain and suspected cholecystitis or biliary pathology underwent sonography screening using POCUS in the BES.
