Abstract
Este trabajo final de graduación consistió en la realización supervisada de 402 estudios de ultrasonido en el ASPT durante el primer cuatrimestre del 2025, como parte del posgrado en Radiología e Imágenes Médicas de la Universidad de Costa Rica. Se trató de un estudio descriptivo, observacional y transversal, enfocado en caracterizar la población referida, las regiones anatómicas exploradas y los hallazgos diagnósticos obtenidos. Los estudios fueron seleccionados por la jefatura médica del segundo nivel y dirigidos a pacientes ambulatorios. La mayoría correspondió a adultos de mediana edad o mayores, con predominio de estudios en cuello, abdomen y vías urinarias. Los hallazgos fueron mayoritariamente benignos o dentro de límites normales, siendo frecuentes la esteatosis hepática, los nódulos tiroideos benignos y la enfermedad renal crónica. Esta experiencia fortaleció la capacidad diagnóstica del centro y aportó valor académico al proceso formativo del residente.
This final graduation project involved the supervised performance of 402 ultrasound studies at the ASPT during the first quarter of 2025, as part of the residency program in Radiology and Medical Imaging at the University of Costa Rica. It was a descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional study aimed at characterizing the referred population, the anatomical regions examined, and the main diagnostic findings. The studies were selected by the second-level medical management and conducted on ambulatory patients. Most studies involved middle-aged or older adults, with a predominance of neck, abdominal, and urinary tract examinations. The findings were mostly benign or within normal limits, with hepatic steatosis, benign thyroid nodules, and chronic kidney disease being the most frequent. This experience strengthened the diagnostic capacity of the center and contributed academic value to the resident’s clinical training.
