Abstract
Sonography is an essential imaging modality, known for its real-time capabilities, relative low cost, and multiple diagnostic applications. Although there are protocols which are well-established for specific examinations, there are not clear guidelines for sonographic examinations of soft tissues. Many sonographers have to establish their own imaging protocols when completing a soft tissue examination. This case series details five soft tissue examinations that represent just a few of the clinical requests generated in an Urgent Care (UC) facility. Since UC usage has increased over the past several years, it appears likely that any sonographer working in such outpatient settings will benefit from as much exposure to soft tissue examinations as possible.
