✦ Synopsis
Unsuspected abnormalities are occasionally detected during real-time ultrasound examinations. To determine the frequency of these findings during standard, routine real-time abdominal survey, the records of 500 consecutive examinations were reviewed. We found that a significant number of important occult abnormalities were detected. The influence of the abdominal survey on clinical management and improved radiologic consultation is discussed.
