(LUS) Diagnostic laparoscopy combined with laparoscopic ultrasound is used for staging tumors and to monitor surgical interventions like for example radiofrequency ablation or cryotherapy. Laparoscopic ultrasound provides direct contact imaging of organs with high frequency ultrasound. Laparoscopic ultrasound identifies and characterizes the tumor, guides the probe, and monitors the progression of the freezing or the thermal destruction. This procedure avoid unnecessary open surgery and improves selection of patients for tumor resection e.g., in liver and pancreas.
Challenges of LUS are limitations of the intraoperative acoustic windows and the possible movement of the probe and that standard orientation techniques are difficult to apply with laparoscopic instruments, resulting in images from oblique planes. 3D ultrasound or special navigation systems may be helpful.

Gynecologic ultrasound and obstetric ultrasound are two distinct applications of ultrasound imaging that serve different purposes in the field of women's health. While both involve the use of ultrasound technology to examine the pelvic region, they have different focuses and objectives.

Gynecologic [gynaecologic, Brit.] ultrasound primarily concentrates on the evaluation of the female reproductive organs, including the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, and surrounding structures. It is commonly performed for various gynecological concerns, such as abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, infertility investigations, and monitoring of reproductive disorders. It can identify signs of inflammation, the presence of free fluid, cysts, and tumors. This non-invasive technique aids in diagnosing and monitoring gynecological pathologies, facilitating early intervention and appropriate treatment. Typically, a transabdominal sonogram is performed with a full bladder to provide an initial assessment. However, if the pelvic ultrasound reveals any abnormalities or fails to provide a clear image of the organs, a more detailed evaluation can be achieved through a transvaginal sonography. This approach allows for improved visualization of the uterus and ovaries by placing the ultrasound probe inside the vagina.

Obstetric ultrasound, also known as prenatal, fetal or pregnancy ultrasound, is the branch of medical imaging that focuses on the use of ultrasound technology to assess the health and development of a fetus during pregnancy. Women with uncomplicated pregnancies commonly undergo an ultrasound examination between the 16th and 20th week of gestation. This routine assessment, performed with a real-time scanner, serves to determine accurate gestational age, monitor fetal size, and assess overall growth. The middle of the pregnancy trimester provides a crucial window for detecting many abnormalities of fetal anatomy. Advanced imaging techniques enable healthcare professionals to identify potential structural issues. Early detection of these abnormalities allows for timely intervention, counseling, and the implementation of appropriate management strategies.
