Ultrasound is a non-invasive, non-ionising radiation modality which is highly successful at soft tissue imaging. Groin pain from an occult hernia can be a difficult clinical diagnosis made easier by good imaging. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the accuracy of ultrasound in diagnosing and typing the groin hernia, which could lead to its justification of use in the imaging of the occult hernia.
