title: [Basic sonographic interpretation].
abstract: Basic sonographic semiology includes the dots and lines that are the basic constituants of ultrasound images and the different structures that are the sonographic representation of the different tissues (fluid, fat, calcifications and stones, air, parenchyma). Knowledge of these basic interpretative skills is mandatory to the clinical practice of sonography and allows understanding of the different sonographic manifestations of pathologic processes and identification of artifacts and pitfalls.
