A2 - Schrope, Beth PY - 2014 T2 - Surgical and Interventional Ultrasound AB - Medical ultrasound was introduced in the 1950s but it wasn’t until the early 1970s that the first case of visceral injury detected by ultrasound was described.1 Throughout the next decade, technological advances made “real-time” images, and therefore the more practical application of ultrasound, possible.
