In modern medicine, the improvement of diagnostic methods plays a crucial role in preserving patient health and early detection of diseases. Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) diseases are among the most widespread pathologies worldwide, and their timely detection significantly increases treatment effectiveness. In contemporary medical practice, ultrasound examination (USE) is increasingly being applied as a non-invasive, safe, and economically efficient diagnostic method.
