Results: We obtained good results with all probes, each showing some limitations and a different set of benefits. The different probes showed the results we expected based on previous experience with random using in normal and pathological cases. Conclusion: Results show that, though none of them is perfect, each can help complete and improve standard examinations, improve diagnosis specificity and doctor-patient communication. Fig1.
