Exploring glutinous rice flour as an alternative to ultrasound gel: efficacy, safety, and practicality

The research examined the use of glutinous rice flour (GRF) as a substitute to commercially available ultrasound gel because of the scarce supply and expensive costs of regular gels in low-resource health care facilities. A quantitative experimental contrast of GRF and commercial gel was done by researchers and assessed by seven professionals, three sonographers, three sonologists, and one dermatologist.
