This study was performed to define the patterns of indications and to analyze the findings. Materials and Methods: Hundred patients were analyzed for 6 months from 15th August 2003. Results: Females were 59 percent. Thirty-nine percent were of 20-29 years age group. Eleven percent presented during 8-9 PM . Provisional diagnosis and clinical history were not mentioned in some requisition forms. Normal findings were present in 18 %. Normal pregnancy was present in 11%. Acute appendicitis was present in 9%. Two were positive for ectopic pregnancy. Conclusion: Ultrasound should be used as complementary investigation and not instead of clinical examination.
