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.  The  utility  of  ultrasound  in  trauma  began  investigation  in  the  late  1980s  and  in  1992  the  first  prospective  study  utilizing  ultrasound  for  the  detection  of  hemoperitoneum  was  published.2
