title: [Sonographic possibilities in emergency medicine].
abstract: Sonography can help to find quickly the correct diagnosis of emergency cases. More than a few ml's of fluid can easily be detected in the thoracic and abdominal cavity. Cells in this fluid are visible as fine dots. In this paper, diseases of the diaphragm, the spleen and the urogenital system, that can be diagnosed or excluded echotomographically with high security, are discussed. For the examination of the stomach, the intestines and the pancreas, sonography is an important time-saving supplementation to radiology. Therefore contrast media can often be avoided. Necessary punctures and biopsies can be performed sonographically aimed with a minimum of risk.
